The Goods: Le Deun Luminaries

Much has been written about the transformative power of lighting in a room.  We have all heard that good lighiting is key to good design.  But as with most things, not all lights are created equal.  Some lights transfix the eye and become an object of art wholly unto themselves. Le Deun Luminaries is just such a light and I had to share them with you.


In production since 1997 in France this young company designs and produces both a collection of LED lighting and collaborates frequently with designers, and architects on bespoke installations. 









Rewired for the 21st Century with LED lights


The lamps are not only a source of light but have a sculptural quality that is both sophisticated and casual.  The quality of the components and the refinement of the metal is superb.  These lights would work equally well in a contemporary or traditional setting. 

Nothing creates a more stirring sensation in an interior as when a modern element blends effortlessly into a contrasting period environment.  My favorite example is the dining room of Waddeson Manor with it's Ingo Maurer chandelier, Le Deun certainly captures an inevitability reminiscent of the Rothschild style.
