Story
LUNEL is a French lighting manufacturer associated with the modern creative movement for its creations close to those of the first French designers. The LUNEL publishing house has notably popularized the use of lacquered tubular metal or even brass in the creation of lighting fixtures.
Suspensions, lamps, wall lights or floor lamps, many of the pieces published by LUNEL are made in a simple, sober and refined style, with an easily identifiable design, which makes it a very popular publisher among collectors.
