La lune sous le chapeau
In June 1974 in Paris, the lampshade was designed by Man Ray directly on a flat piece of cardboard and, together with other sketches of the base, a few days later it became the lamp known as 'La lune sous le chapeau'.
This lamp is an 'objet trouvé' as it re-evaluates simple materials, low technology, and formal simplicity.
An apparently anonymous lamp, anti-design, provocative with a strong poetic content: the most minimal lampshade supported by the most elementary of bases.
This re-edition faithfully reproduces the original design, even in its spirit.

Man Ray
Man Ray, born in 1890 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was a painter, a visual artist, and a filmmaker. Considered one of the most versatile and creative artists of the 20th century, he was a prominent figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements alongside Duchamp and Francis Picabia.
He is best known for his "rayographs," where, without a camera, he placed objects directly on a sheet of photosensitive paper, exposing them to light.
