Price History
Description
The Marseille wall light, a design icon created by Le Corbusier, finally reissued! A genius architect and designer, Le Corbusier created the “Cité Radieuse” in Marseille, a residence built between 1945 and 1952. From its conception, this experimental building tried to materialise a new form of city: a "vertical village" called a "Housing Unit". The Cité Radieuse is today classified as a historical monument. Le Corbusier even designed the lights in the apartments of his “city”. In 1954, he created the Marseille wall light which he had installed in the model apartments to optimise the lighting. Reissued by Nemo, this wall light is a symbol of 1950s modernism. Inspired by the industrial lighting of the time, this wall light has a lampshade made up of two symmetrical cones, providing two types of lighting (direct and indirect).
Our Stylist Says
I love this wall light for its sleek, minimalist silhouette that instantly adds a touch of modern sophistication. It works well in contemporary interiors or as a statement piece in a more eclectic scheme. The conical shape and matte black finish make it versatile enough to partner with neutral tones or bold colour palettes. Practical styling tips include positioning it near seating areas for focused reading light or using multiple units for a visually interesting feature wall. Its timeless design also makes it suitable for layering with more decorative lighting, ensuring both form and function are covered in your space.
