Background information.
The company Le Dauphin was founded in January 1966 by Maurice Tournu as a small lampshade company. In 1970, a first factory was built. In the 1980s, more than 250 employees worked there. Over 50,000 lamps were produced annually, located in the heart of the Rhône Alpes region. Le Dauphin is a brand known for its high-quality fixtures and timeless style. The artisanal factory was located in Saint-Marcellin, about 50 kilometers from Grenoble.

Dressing the light so that it becomes a source of decoration was the motto of the company Le Dauphin.

The company name finds its origin in the former name of the province where it is located: Dauphiné.

The company Maison Le Dauphin France no longer exists. The company ceased operations in 2009 and was removed from the trade register in 2013. The website remained online until 2017. Source: Wikipedia.
