Designed by Le Corbusier in 1951/52 for the public spaces of the Unité d’Habitation in Marseille, Escargot is only available in a limited edition, enhanced by its unique sculptural form inspired by nature. Made of burnished brass with an internal reflector for a diffused indirect lighting effect.
Le Corbusier’s interest in fine arts from an early age led him to focus on architectural designs made up of lines and geometric colour blocks. For him, painting, sculpture and architecture are not isolated disciplines.
