Lighting design,part 1 - Galle lamps


Émile Gallé (French, May 8, 1846–September 23, 1904) was a glass maker, ceramist, and designer known as one of the most outstanding glass artists of the 19th-century. He was also a pioneering artist of the Art Nouveau Movement.

For a Classic or French -Art Nouveau inspired interior design, one of the most beautifull lighting pieces you can use are the Galle type lamps. Galle is not only the person who created this type of glass manufacture but also a brand. 
In our times there are other manufacturers that work the glass in this way, but they must mark them as " Type Galle". They make very good imitations, which express the same feeling as the original when you see them.

For your consideration and to make an ideea o the beauty of this art pieces lamps please see the pictures below.
