Lampe Cabanon Table Lamp
Lampe Cabanon Table Lamp by Nemo was designed by Le Corbusier in 1952 for his retreat “Cabanon” on the French Riviera – a minimalist cabin built according to the rules of the Modulor.
Reflecting the ideals of essential living, the lamp is constructed from raw, symbolic materials: a green and gunmetal aluminium structure paired with a distinctive tracing paper shade. The shade design echoes a post-war rebirth and is based on sketches by Le Corbusier, made using a wartime mortar shell carrier as its base.
With its utilitarian aesthetic and architectural provenance, Lampe Cabanon represents a unique intersection of design, history, and intention.
