Lampe de Bureau Reading floor lamp, white
Description
Nemo Lighting's Lampe de Bureau Reading is a charming floor lamp with a simple silhouette, given just the right amount of character by a linear shade. Colored white both inside and out, the slightly translucent glass shade is not only beautiful but also preserves the natural color of the light.
Charlotte Perriand designed the original Lampe de Bureau wall lamp in 1965 for a French glass factory. The idea back then was to create a lamp that would illuminate faces reflected in a mirror. That original Lampe de Bureau wall lamp has later developed into a table and floor version – this Lampe de Bureau Reading floor delights in a reading nook in the living room but is also ideal for a bedroom or home office.

Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) was a French architect and designer, who is most famously known for her ingenious, minimalist, and deeply functional work. Metal was of particular importance in Perriand’s design. Charlotte Perriand believed that skillful, quality design could also help to build a better, more sustainable society.
Charlotte Perriand – a visionary of modernism
Charlotte Perriand was a true pioneer who helped shape both the direction and philosophy of European design. She is known, among other things, for lighting produced by Nemo Lighting and furniture designed for Cassina.
At the very start of her career, fresh from graduating from the École de L'Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs, Perriand gained widespread acclaim when her work Bar Sous le Toit was presented at the 1927 Salon d’Automne. The piece was met with critical praise and established her as one of the most exciting designers of her time.
Designing for better living
Perriand collaborated with legendary French designers Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé, contributing to the development of mass-produced furniture and modular architecture.
This collaboration helped redefine 20th-century living: tubular steel structures, modularity and functionality brought a new clarity to design. At the heart of Perriand’s thinking was the idea of improving everyday life through design – furniture should be lightweight, adaptable and, above all, purposeful.
Les Arcs – a holistic vision of living
One of Perriand’s most renowned architectural projects is the Les Arcs ski resort in Savoie, France, for which she was responsible for both design and execution. Her signature approach – embracing modular architecture, standardization and industrial methods – is clearly visible throughout Les Arcs: minimalist hotel rooms, standardized kitchens and bathrooms, and expansive communal spaces that connect seamlessly with nature all reflect her design philosophy.
