Poudrier

Philippe Nigro

Like a powder case or a precious box, the mechanical action of opening or closing makes the object reassuring and immediately understandable. The light is diffused by a thick glass pane, throughout its depth. Inside, the polished brass flap acts as a pivoting mirror thanks to a visible hinge. The light can be switched on and dimmed, to give time to accept  onself. The light is manually adjustable, not with a dimmer but with a shutter that is opened or closed according to the desired light intensity.  Each light has its own unique fingerprint.  Originally designed for the bathroom, POUDRIER can also be used in a hallway or entrance.
