The Poetic Magic of Etat-des-Lieux Lighting

Studio d’Armes is surrounded by a picturesque landscape, and looking at the view is what inspired Etat-des-Lieux, a modular lighting system with a variable silhouette. With virtually unlimited light and shape options, its versatile structure can accommodate any space it inhabits, public or residential. At its most minimal form, Etat-des-Lieux is made up of a base foundation and one light module. It can then grow in any direction, and adding multiple light modules will definitely make for a striking focal point in any space.

Etat-des-Lieux is the only lighting system that features a wide, flexible, conductive cable as a power source that simultaneously supports its weight. Finished in matte black, the cable’s flexibility gives you the ability to play with geometry and tension to find the ideal lighting configuration. The hand-blown glass globe is available in four colors – transparent, pink, gray and amber – in clear or frosted finishes. The globe houses the light module, and can be positioned to direct light downward or up toward the ceiling.
