More about...

  • The piece

    Le Corbusier desgined Sanskar Kendra Museum in the Indian city of Ahmedabad. The Museum contains all the fundamentals of his architecture, and for this project he conceived a lighting system he named “Projecteur”, installed in the structure to maximise the lighting effect. The lamp has a curved glass diffuser that is sandblasted on the inside giving the possibility to expand the light without dazzling.

  • The designer

    Le Corbusier is, arguably, the backbone of modernity. His importance transcends object design; he redefined the relationship between humans and space. In an interwar era clamoring for order and reconstruction, Le Corbusier proposed Rationalism: the absolute elimination of superfluous ornament to find beauty in pure geometry, proportion, and industrial functionality. We must remember him for swapping carved wood for chrome tubular steel and leather, materials that symbolized the machine age. Together with his team, he created pieces that are eternal archetypes, like the LC4 Chaise Longue, designed not for aesthetic whim but by studying the resting curves of the human body. His concept of the home as a "machine for living" and his "Modulor" measurement system standardized global architecture. To understand Le Corbusier is to understand the transition from craftsmanship to industry.
  • The brand

    NEMO Lighting is one of the most dynamic forces in contemporary Italian lighting. It stands out for having two souls: the "Masters" collection, which reissues forgotten masterpieces by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, and Franco Albini, and a contemporary line dedicated to technological innovation in LEDs. Pieces like the Parliament lamp or the minimalist Linescapes show their versatility. NEMO is essential for understanding modern light, offering luminaires that are faithful to the history of architectural design yet technically advanced for today's efficiency needs.
