The “La Roche” wall light, a design classic created by Le Corbusier in the 1920s, finally reissued! A genius architect and designer, Le Corbusier designed Les Maisons La Roche et Jeanneret in Paris from 1923 to 1925. Inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List, these buildings are the first expression of Purism in architecture. During the same period, at the Decorative Arts Exhibition in Paris in 1925, Le Corbusier distinguished himself with the Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau, one of the very first examples of standardised housing units. Le Corbusier even designed the lamps in his buildings to optimise their lighting. He thus created the “La Roche” wall light, which he originally intended for lighting large windows. Its industrial style originally revealed a long, bare bulb held by a stripped-back metal structure. The reissue of Nemo takes up its creator’s original design by adapting it to new technologies. An LED plate is built into an oblong glass diffuser, taking the shape of the original bulb. This diffuser is set in a sleek matt grey metal structure. This wall light gives off a diffused, warm light.
