La lune sous le chapeau, Man Ray
phTomVack
‘La lune sous le chapeau’ represents the essence and synthesis of contemporary light. The first model was developed by Man Ray together with Dino Gavina in 1974. Warli has decided to give new life to the lamp with new finishes and colours, while keeping the original spirit and design intact.
La lune sous le chapeau
Man Ray
da tavolo
1973
In June 1974 in Paris, the lampshade was designed by Man Ray directly on a sheet of flat cardboard and, together with other sketches of the base, a few days later it became the lamp called ‘La lune sous le chapeau’.
The light is an ‘objet trouvé’ as it re-evaluates basic materials, low technology, formal simplicity. An apparently anonymous, anti-design lamp, provocative with a strong poetic content: the simplest lampshade supported by the most elementary of bases.
This model faithfully reproduces, even in the spirit, the original design.
