About this work

This set of twelve wall lights, designed by Charlotte Perriand, was produced by Galerie Steph Simon, Paris, a leading modernist furniture gallery that held exclusive rights to produce Perriand’s furniture and lighting designs until it closed in 1974. Perriand gave the consumer the power of choice and opportunities to curate their home interior; this set comprises twelve lights in four colours – grey, black, red and yellow – enabling the purchaser to design their own layout and colour combination.
