During his year of residence as a resident of the Villa Medici in 2021-2022, the artist Benoît Maire designed a series of wooden and metal furniture elements inspired by the Villa Medici, thus renewing the refined language of furniture already existing created by Balthus in the 1960s and by Richard Peduzzi in the early 2000s.

Floor lamp standing on 2 steel legs with an open shade featuring outline of the Villa Medicis with 2 lights is a work of art highly original

The floor lamp was first shown in 2022 at the Ozenfant House in Paris and described as follows:

Benoît Maire’s creations, whether furniture pieces, sculptures, paintings or videos,
all inherently address the question of measurement and time. The time needed for conception, for production, nature and human existence all blend together in a reflection on the scale of the human being within a space —a fundamental concept for Le Corbusier, who strove his entire life to achieve the ideal balance between the body and its environment.
