Designer

  • Jacques Biny


Small directional lamp in black lacquered metal, mounted on a swivel base and featuring a lateral handle for precise orientation. The focused beam is diffused through a circular frosted glass lens, typical of Jacques Biny's work.

A discreet yet key figure in postwar French lighting design, Biny developed in the 1950s a series of sober, functional fixtures, often edited by Lita. This piece reflects his pragmatic and rigorous approach to lighting.

Black lacquered metal, frosted glass lens.
