£245
Price History
Description
The mini-version of the iconic Marseille Wall Lamp. 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 metal 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 the Wall light de Marseille MINI because of its sleek, minimalist design and the way it effortlessly merges vintage appeal with modern functionality. Its metal grey finish provides a versatile, understated look that complements both contemporary and industrial interiors. It's particularly effective in highlighting specific zones, such as over a reading nook, in a hallway, or around a bedroom mirror. For styling, consider using it as part of a layered lighting scheme - pairing it with warmer ambient lights for cosy atmosphere or adding other wall lights with different finishes to create visual interest. Its compact size makes it perfect for spaces where you want a subtle yet statement-making lighting piece without overwhelming the decor.
