Description

Le Corbusier, Wall lamps, France, 1960s.
A very rare, emerald green lacquered metal wall lamp by Le Corbusier. The lamp has two light bulbs and two reflectors of corrugated sheet metal inside.

Le Corbusier designed a couple of types of wall lamps for his housing projects and this is a version that was used to light the interior 'streets' of his Unité d'habitation in Briey-en-Forêt, France (1957-61). The lamp can be used to shine either up or downwards.
