History:
The model No. 240 lamp, designed around 1950 by Jacques Biny and produced by Luminalite, reflects the revival of French lighting design in the post-war period. The combination of diffusing Plexiglas, lacquered metal, and lacquered wood reflects the 1950s interest in industrial materials and a modern, functional, and refined aesthetic.
