Description

Nemo Lighting's Lampe Cabanon table lamp is yet another one of the stunningly beautiful works by architect Le Corbusier. The lamp is named after the Cabanon building, which Le Corbusier built on the French Riviera in the 1950s. For him, this hidden cottage represented an archetype of living and served as a refuge in his final years. Now, the sculptural Lampe Cabanon represents that cottage and the lifestyle it symbolises. 

Lampe Cabanon's shade is made of delicately beautiful tracing paper – in the original version, the shade was made from a mortar shell carrier Le Corbusier found on the coast. Shining the delicate light through the paper, the lamp is ideal for a bedroom or as an eye-catching decorative item in a living room. The green detail on the top finishes the look of the lamp by adding a nice touch of contrast.

Le Corbusier

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris (1887-1965) was a Swiss architect, artist, designer, urban planner and writer, best known for his achievements in modern architecture. He adopted the name Le Corbusier, a pseudonym of his grandmother’s last name Lecorbésier, in 1920 in the first issue of the L’Esprit Nouveau journal.

Le Corbusier started his studies at the La Chaux-de-Fonds art school at the age of thirteen and soon shifted from watchmaking to painting and architecture. He designed his first house in 1905, made several study trips to Europe and worked for a number of architects such as Auguste Perret and Peter Behrens. During World War I Le Corbusier taught in his alma mater and moved later to Paris.

His most important architectural pieces include Villa Savoye in Poissy (1929-1931), Unité d’Habitation in Marseille (1947-1952), the city of Chandigarh in India (1954) and Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp (1955). In furniture design Le Corbusier’s LC4 chaise longue and LC2 armchair and sofa are true icons.
