Paul Dupré-Lafon

Alexandre Biaggi, Paris, 2005

Overall very good condition. Please note, this offering comprises two wall light and only one is illustrated in the print catalogue. Each wall light separates in two elements, comprising of the shade and armature, and the supporting structure that attaches to the wall. The metal surface with some light surface scratches, rubbing to the patina and minor abrasions, consistent with age and normal use. Superficial dirt to the recessed areas. The overall surface of the metal with light discoloration and oxidation as seen in the catalogue illustration. The fabric has been replaced and appear slightly more beige in color than it appears in the catalogue illustration. The shades with a few scattered minor stains consistent with gentle use. A great statement of Dupré-Lafon's design aesthetic combining functionalism and elegance.
