The Borne Béton is available as a floor or a table lamp, for indoor and outdoor use. Made essentially of concrete, it will withstand bad weather outside and bring an industrial touch to your interior. The Grande Borne Béton was designed by Le Corbusier in 1952 to equip the Unité d'habitation de Marseille as well as to illuminate the Bhakra and Sukha dams in India. In 2017, Nemo has launched a smaller version of the Borne Béton that will easily find its place on a side table, a desk or a shelf.


The Borne Béton has a dimmer on its cable. It is available in LED version.

Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, known as Le Corbusier, is a Swiss architect, urban planner, decorator, painter, sculptor, naturalized French author, born October 6, 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland and died August 27, 1965 in Roquebrune -Cap-Martin in France.

Le Corbusier's work and thought were particularly influential on post-war generations of architects and widely disseminated, before entering, with the period of postmodernism, a phase of significant and regular contestation.

Once the first surprise of the introductions, there was only a verbose flow. But the meticulous achievements of the architect builder deserved, according to the Finnish master, a completely different consideration, by their variety and their originality, their functionality and their adaptation to the constraint, their generous spirituality or their geometric destitution, their surprising evolution with the time…
