Christofle — Lueur

Lueur

Light, turned towards each other.

01The insight

The table brings us together.
The light should, too.

A beautiful table can still leave faces in shadow. Intimacy depends on where the light falls.

We designed Lueur around a movable silver reflector. A small adjustment turns the light towards a face, a glass or the centre of the table.

02The distinctive gesture

One silver petal.
Many ways to share the light.

An oval frame holds a concave reflector.
A concealed source in the foot lights its underside.

Turn the reflection towards the people.
01 / The source

A recessed light aperture in the foot.

02 / The reflector

A silver petal pivots within the frame.

03 / The effect

Light can be directed without moving the object.

A single, intuitive adjustment.
04Design decision

Silver becomes
an instrument of light.

The pivot is the product’s centre of gravity. A deliberately visible connection makes the gesture legible before the hand reaches it.

05 / LIGHT PATH STUDY

The source stays still.
The atmosphere changes.

Motion explains the reflector.
Optical design requires prototyping.

Lueur

A new expression of silver.
An invitation to stay a little longer.
