Lamps Made for One Building at a Time

Le Corbusier designed lamps only when a building needed them, and each of the pieces Nemo produces comes out of a specific project rather than a catalogue.

The Lampe de Marseille, made for the Unité d’Habitation around 1949–52. Two joints in the arm and a rotating fixing, so one fitting could serve a whole room.

Two cones, pointing both ways

The Projecteur 365 was drawn for the High Court at Chandigarh in 1954, and the Parliament floor lamp for the Chandigarh assembly in 1963 — both borrowed from industrial fittings, with cone diffusers that swivel between direct and indirect light.

The Applique de Marseille in black and in white. Light goes up and down at once, which is what a wall lamp in a long corridor actually needs to do.
La Roche — drawn for the house of the same name in Paris, and about as close to a plain tube as a light fitting gets.

Nemo produces these as authorised editions in agreement with the Fondation Le Corbusier, from the drawings for the Marseille Cité Radieuse, the Chandigarh Capitol and the maison La Roche.
