Kobis et Lorence
—
Kobis et Lorence was a Parisian lighting house active in the early 1950s, with a workshop located at 12 rue du Pont-aux-Choux, Paris. Identified in period sources as M. Kobis and R. Lorence, the firm produced lighting fixtures that reflect the elegance and inventiveness of postwar French design. Their work, often in shaped or perforated metal, combined decorative refinement with a strong sculptural presence. Kobis et Lorence is also notably associated with the early production of Jacques Biny’s models, placing the house within the renewed energy of French lighting design in the 1950s.
