Christophe GEVERS (1969, 2007) - BELGIUM

CG01 Light - Grey green brass. Gallery certificate will be given to the buyer. Shipping to Paris 80 eur. Designed by Christophe Gevers, this lamp will delight aesthetes with a passion for beauty and ingenuity. To be called 01, you have to be worthy of identifying with perfection! A subtle blend, delicately proportioned, this luminaire is more sculpture than simple lighting, making the CG01 a work of art full of anecdotes. Christophe Gevers has left an indelible mark on Belgian design with his sense of materials and tactile modernism. He is considered one of the most important interior designers of the post-war period. He favoured a warm, comfortable modernism, using noble, durable materials. He founded his own company, Gevers Design, and worked as a teacher at La Cambre in the decoration and furnishing department. His work is a hallmark of Belgian design, and his creations are sought-after today. Hats off to the artist, Gevers is enjoying the success he deserves! Placed in 1968 in the restaurant “Le Cap d’Argent” in Brussels, the CG01, designed in a deep, bold red, illuminated this brasserie and made it an emblematic image of Belgian design. It goes without saying that the internationally renowned “Aux Vieux Saint Martin” also incorporates the 01 into its restaurant, which is frequented by some of the world’s leading figures. The Canterbury still bears witness to its unique style, which has nothing old-fashioned about it.
