Origin and Design
Creation: Introduced in 2022, this wall light is a continuation of the famous Lampe Gras collection, originally designed by Bernard-Albin Gras in 1921 for industrial and professional uses. The "Double Bathroom" version is a contemporary reinterpretation adapted to the specific needs of bathrooms.
Aesthetics: True to the Gras heritage, it boasts a timeless industrial style with clean lines, free of screws and welds, combining robustness and sophistication. It is available in black or polycarbonate finishes, with round reflectors that add a touch of modernity.
Functionality
Lighting Flexibility: The two articulated arms and adjustable reflectors allow you to customize the direction of the light, whether for targeted lighting (for example, near a mirror while getting ready) or a softer ambiance for relaxation.
Versatility: With a single electrical outlet, it offers two light sources, making it practical for illuminating different areas of a bathroom, adapting to all space shapes.
Atmosphere: The light diffused by the sandblasted glass cases is soft and enveloping, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Applications
Primary Use: Perfect for bathrooms, whether above a mirror, near a bathtub, or in a vanity area. It is suitable for both functional and decorative lighting.
Style: Its industrial design blends harmoniously into modern, minimalist, or classic interiors, adding a touch of refinement.
Benefits
Durability: Constructed with high-quality materials and designed to resist humidity, it guarantees a long lifespan.
Evolving Aesthetics: The raw copper reflectors (optional) evolve over time through a natural oxidation process, adding a unique patina.
Eco-efficiency: Compatible with LED bulbs, it combines luminous efficiency with low energy consumption.
Heritage and Reputation
The Lampe Gras collection is a design icon, acclaimed by figures such as Le Corbusier, Henri Matisse, and Eileen Gray. The 204 Double Bathroom version perpetuates this legacy by combining Gras's technical ingenuity with modern requirements. Since 2008, DCW Editions has been reissuing these luminaires with a commitment to excellence, blending craftsmanship and innovation. Each piece is designed as a functional work of art, transcending trends.
