In The Sun Wall Light

Description

To mount on the wall or ceiling, In The Sun gleams with royal hues of silver and gold in an homage to France's Louis XIV, the 17th century Sun King. Architect-designers Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost configure a metal-disc backplate to reflect the warm glow from the starburst metal mesh diffuser for mood-setting atmosphere. With 3 available diameters, the light is striking on its own or perfect for displaying in assorted combinations of sizes and the varied metallic finishes.

“All of our lighting can travel from Jules Verne’s world to the Blade Runner world,” says Frédéric Winkler, who, along with cofounder Philippe Cater, debuted Paris-based DCW Éditions in 2008. Timelessness guides their mission, beginning with the re-edition of the 1921 Lampe Gras created by Bernard-Albin Gras. One of the first articulated lamps, it would find its way into the studios of Le Corbusier, Sonia Delaunay and Henri Matisse, and has been a standout ever since.

Nostalgia is not what animates Editions DCW, however, but rather a search for elusive and enduring offerings that span generations. Look no further than the introductions from current design leaders Bertrand Balas and architects Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost. Their new work share a measure of innovation and an artistic countenance that rises above the temporary vagaries of fashion. “Everyone has their own story to tell,” says Winkler of his stable of designers. “Strong characters with a deep and thick soul. That's why their lamps are interesting.”
