Specialist note
Marc du Plantier is without question one of the most significant exponents that has come to define the elegance of French design during the 1940s.
Creating designs and interiors for a select group of elite clients, his aesthetic pursued dialogues that embraced the simplicity of the Antique, and the luxury of sumptuous materials, to create environments for the mind to thrive.
The two lamps offered in this sale reveal the development of Du Plantier’s aesthetic as it evolved into the 1960s - here selecting raw minerals described by prismatic structures of wrought iron to highly sculptural effect.
