AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This iconic table lamp was designed in 1968 for the legendary Brussels brasserie Le Cap d'Argent, which had already opened its doors in 1959 and quickly grew into a beloved meeting place for the local cultural elite. The building was purchased and the project financed by his aunt, a passionate art lover and patron. Christophe Gevers, a pioneer of modern Belgian design, not only took care of the lighting but also designed the entire interior, where form, function and timeless elegance came together.

This scarlet lamp stood from 1968 on the tables of the brasserie Le Cap d'Argent, which were equipped with a top of Abrasca marble (= a white marble, veined with black), which gave a wonderful effect!

The CG01 Red Classic is not only a tribute to the visionary spirit and personal aesthetics of Christophe Gevers, but also a one-off strictly limited edition of 150 pieces. So act quickly!

1x E14; dimmable depending on the light source (not included)
