BELLE DE NUIT
DiscoverSculpture by day, sculpture of light by night, Belle de Nuit combines the lightness of fine metal rods and ceramic volumes with modern LED lighting technology.
Belle de Nuit has the undulating forms of Belle de Jour, and exists only thanks to the path of our production development. To be sure of its shape and proportions, we made a miniature 3D print of Belle de Jour. The result was so charming that we decided to create Belle de Nuit in Biscuit porcelain, allowing the striations created by the 3D printing process to show through in the mold. The cookie texture makes each lamp unique.
The Belle de Nuit family consists of three different sizes, M, L and XL, and two cookie finishes, smooth or striated.
This piece was exhibited at the Noguchi Museum in New York.
