About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This elegant pendant lamp, a collaboration between Mathieu Matégot and Holophane, embodies the characteristic lightness and refinement of French post-war modernism. The design combines a softly shaped, hemispherical shade of opalescent glass with a slender, tapered metal element. Its fine perforations create a subtle lighting effect, while also serving as a design link between the suspension and the shade. The pressed glass diffuser features Holophane's signature concentric grooved structure, which evenly scatters the light, providing pleasant, glare-free illumination. Unlike earlier versions with visible screws, this model features concealed glass fixings, suggesting a slightly later production phase within the 1950s. This structural simplification indicates a further development towards a clearer, more minimalist design language and more efficient mass production. The minimalist, almost floating design makes this lamp a timeless classic that integrates harmoniously into both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors. An authentic piece of French design, it impresses with its balanced proportions and refined combination of materials.
Condition: Used, good condition with age-related wear. Slight patina and minor paint chips on the metal; minimal wear on the glass rim. Technically functional.
Dimensions: L35.5 x W35.5 x H61 cm
