French Codes

  • On the edge of art

Plus que des luminaires, des pièces d’art modulables qui s’adaptent à nos intérieurs.

The light fittings imagined by Patrick Francis de Mauroy and multi-media artist David Galimant are the first creations from their design company French Codes, and most unusual ones too since they are organic in form but made from metal bed springs! “We didn’t set out to recycle but to subvert something so as to create a piece of art that fits into everyday life.” In finishings ranging from 24ct gilding through pop-art colours to natural hues, their poetic one-of-a-kind flowers, clouds and Christmas trees can hang on a wall like any respectable artwork. A number of design-world buyers and professionals have already succumbed to their charm: “Our clients love the bespoke, adaptable aspect of our lighting.” Meaning everyone can create their own personal “light garden” since the components can be combined together to make pieces of all sizes (small to gigantic), from bunches of flowers to delicate ceiling lights. You won’t find a more unique gift for a Christmas stocking!
