DCW ÉDITIONS IN THE LIGHT OF SUN

"This is what seized me when, for the first time, I saw evening rise over the sky of Naples with its velvety reds and greys—as though with a shiver, as though out of pity for myself that I had begun my life already old. Tears came to my eyes, together with the feeling that I had been saved, even if only at the very last moment. I have enough wit for the South."

Friedrich Nietzsche, Fragments 1881 – Travels in Italy

It is never too late to not live in the dark.
At the age of 37, in Naples, Friedrich Nietzsche encountered the Italian light for the first time as a revelation, one that opened an entirely new horizon of thought. That Mediterranean clarity became, for him, the symbol of a creative rebirth.

Here Comes The Sun contains the promise of a melodic light that finds its way into the reflection of a sunrise over the Garonne.

Bertrand Balas, a Toulouse-born architect born in 1935, orchestrates light and music on the same score. In 1970, he created this suspended sun, which becomes magical when it is switched on. The night becomes warm, draped in a lighting system that evokes our galaxy—poetic, cyclical. That same year, The Beatles created the song of the same name, and Balas became a designer of lighting objects.

Displayed alone or in clusters, Here Comes The Sun pendant is an object that is resolutely heliocentric.

Imagine holding a miniature sun that you could place on a golden or silver mirror.

Designed by the duo Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost for the Château de Versailles, In the Sun is a true “jewel candle” with atmospheric light. On a table, as a wall light or as a pendant, In the Sun diffuses its sunset light, without dazzling. It unfolds all the magic of a radiant star, like a hypnotic toy. Its metallic mesh structure, blossoming into geometric rays, evokes the glow of ancient filaments.

Its warm light spreads through the grooves of the mesh to create a play of festive shadows with golden reflections.
