Le Corbusier and the Gras Lamp examines how the industrially designed 1921 Gras Lamp became an essential object in Le Corbusier’s architectural universe. The book traces the lamp’s origins as a functional, minimalist tool for factories and studios and shows why Le Corbusier adopted it so extensively in his own workspace and in many of his major residential projects. Through archival photos, design sketches, and examples from interiors like Villa Savoye and Villa La Roche, the book illustrates how this simple, adjustable lamp embodied the modernist shift toward functional objects as “equipment” rather than decoration, revealing the crucial role lighting played in shaping early 20th-century modern living and design.
