Rare nickel plated and aluminium Gras model 215 mobile floor lamp with aluminium “Normal” lampshade produced in 1930.
The Gras lamp became popular when Le Corbusier started to use them first in his offices and then for his customer projects. Other notable Gras lamp clients included Ruhlmann, Brassaï and Georges Braque.
