art deco sconces by PIERRE CHAREAU

Pierre Chareau (1883-1950)

Furniture-maker, in his own words, it becomes 1921 and for the next decade, the creator of the most amazing art-deco.

Unfairly classified in this category, it is the harsh working son, rigor in the selection of materials, the less "decorative" art-deco. Architect everything through furniture, lighting, he invented an alphabet shapes combinatorial solutions to many. However, it is the intrinsic quality of the area receiver who prescribed the final choice.

In this vision, it reverses the relationship and met implement solutions so unusual it was not until the end of the Twentieth Century to measure its importance.

Today, one hundred and eighty years after his birth, modern What he managed to create "is still allowed in part. Collector of Picasso and he questioned her, Mondrian painting with such force that he could tell the same choice but through a lamp or other objects appear very modest.

In the work of Pierre Chareau the fixture OCCUPIED A specific area escaped the methods of creation, development used to Mobiliar Production SA.

Unlike the slow maturation of the first style office furniture Metal / Wood 1926, when the fixture Found 1922/23, without the slightest hesitation or influence, a unity of style, materials and q Their Own treatments. In choosing the material Alabaster (white) like reflectors, by winning four primary forms: rectangle, triangle, Quarter Round and the truncated cube (canopy), Pierre Chareau OPTED, permanently, for a minimalist solution strengthened by opposition metal (black) Alabaster (white).

This alphabet set up employment, which re-employment, reversing or spatial positioning of this or that sufficient amounts to only themselves to create "an infinite lamps, sconces, suspension or ramps light. Take for example the block "awning": six applications, two suspensions, a light rail will be created from a single unit. Put two on the front or in profile, one above the other or alone. New Opportunities illumination, complementary and non-repetitive, only the metal bracket (black) change of form or proportion to thereby reduce the attached A simple, letting the module Alabaster Wall emerge as a mineral glow extension instead of Elsewhere, the only Strength reduced its mass Purely geometric black retains an attachment to drop a tiny inevitable.

By this choice, Pierre Chareau favors a working method which is not based on a search form, but on her employment, position and meaning becomes dominant over the form.
