Description
Amazing mid-century bamboo and rattan round ceiling light. Louis Sognot probably designed this extraordinary in France during the 1960s. An excellent example of mid-century craftsmanship, where bamboo and rattan are perfectly blended and shaped in a sinuous way. The chandelier is designed like a cage, trapping the bulb and adding elegance to the light distribution in the environment. This item is a gorgeous element that will enrich a mid-century outdoor project or an eclectic living room.

The designer became a founding member of the Union des Artistes Decoroteurs. He died in 1970 in Paris, France.
