Biny Bedside

In 1955, opened Luminalite, his workshop for producing modern lighting. Modern, before its time, the Designer-Manufacturer who was born in 1913 developed over 400 models during a 30-year career. Jacques Biny’s hallmark was rigour and he never stopped in his quest to improve how homes were lit. Functionality was primary, the lack of superfluity in the form reminiscent of the minimalist movement that was gaining currency in American art during the 1960’s, which may go to explain why his work is as popular with American collectors as it is with Europeans. Efficiency and simplicity, restraint, elegance and modesty are the common denominators in Jacques Biny’s work. They are the same qualities that inspired us to reproduce Jacques Biny’s Box lights. A headboard lamp, which is very comfortable and avoids any visual fatigue. Composed of integrated LED spotlight, allowing you to read without disturbing your partner and integrated and removable LED PLATE with adjustable flaps, giving a very soft general lighting of the room. A 4-position switch can light either one or the other, or both sources of light. USB port can charge a smart phone or something similar...NB: it does not make coffee.
