The Applique à Volet Pivotant (1960) constitutes a minimalist wall-mounted luminaire that displays the distinctive design features commonly associated with Charlotte Perriand. A notable characteristic of this fixture, mirroring Perriand's prevalent design philosophy, is a pivoting sheet-like shade. Known for her interest in human gestural patterns and hand movements, Perriand frequently drew inspiration from these elements when conceptualising her lighting designs.
Functionally, the Applique à Volet Pivotant delivers ambient, indirect lighting within a given space, effectively illuminating both sides of its surroundings. Its revolvable shade enables users to manipulate the direction of light. Thanks to its innovative and discernible design, this luminaire was a modern choice for creating a warm and muted lighting ambience within interiors.
