"coquillage" Lamp From The 1970s By Liane Rougier For Maison Rougier
Artist: Liane Rougier
Liane ROUGIER for MAISON ROUGIER
Large “Coquillage” table lamp, circa 1970–1975.
Molded acrylic (methacrylate), opaline acrylic shade, black Plexiglas base, and chrome-plated metal.
A striking table lamp depicting a tridacna-style seashell, composed of two large molded methacrylate valves with realistically sculpted ribs.
At the center, a hemispherical opal acrylic diffuser conceals the light source and evokes a pearl. The entire piece rests on a quadrangular base made of black-lacquered metal edged with brass.
In the 1970s, Liane ROUGIER created a series of lighting fixtures for MAISON ROUGIER that epitomized organic design. Her work was based on the innovative use of methacrylate (Plexiglas).
This “Coquillage” model, the brand’s most iconic, reinterprets the shape of a holy water font in a sculptural language where light becomes matter. The piece is part of the Hollywood Regency movement, which was popular in the 1970s for its spectacular forms and marine or mineral motifs. Straddling the line between lighting and sculpture, this sought-after piece is now among MAISON ROUGIER’s most highly valued creations on the 20th-century design market.
