Escargot is a sculptural lamp inspired by nature, designed by Le Corbusier for the public spaces of the Unité d’Habitation of Marseille. The body is made of aged cast brass. The interior reflector is a curved anodized aluminum surface, reflecting the light from the bulb hidden in the body, creating extensive indirect lighting.

Le Corbusier

« Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms ».
