Strong, cozy light: the ‘Un ciel andalou 3’ fused glass wall lamp.

Why a strong light with fused glass?

During the long dark winter evenings, you need a light that is bright and pleasant. LED technology brings the strength, flexibility and cost effectiveness. You can have more than 3000 lumen, that is more than 3 old 100W incandescent light bulbs, running at 40W. One question remains: how to install such a powerful light source and get a cozy design? Light Nouveau has come up with a two pronged approach: Bring powerful, original art in front of the light source, and use a thin, dimmable and tunable light source. Our light source can have the intensity and color temperature controlled via a remote. From strong to dim, from warm white to cool white, you can have any light type behind your piece of original art. And the result is that Light Nouveau turns every interior into a memorable space.

The art

In 1929 the first surrealist film came out: Un Chien Andalou. Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali wrote the script by discussing their dreams and using only images that none of them could explain. The iconic image of the film is focusing on the eye, the symbol of imagination. It teaches us to see everything and expect anything. The clouds cutting the moon is a prelude to the scene. We believe we have been spared. In fact, we have been not. What comes next is not surprising us anymore. In Un Ciel Andalou, the artist is recasting the quest for seeing the light. Un Ciel Andalou, is a reflection on the questions regarding art: What do we see? Is the art piece the same with the light that reaches us? Is it the same as our impression of it?
