This Mid-Century Modernist vanity light, designed by the renowned Paul Mayen for Habitat in the 1960s, captures the clean, minimalist elegance of the era. A perfect marriage of form and function, this piece reflects Mayen’s signature approach to materials and refined design, making it an iconic addition to any curated interior.
The fixture consists of two cylindrical milk glass shades emerging from a central brushed aluminum frame, which provide an even, diffused light that is both welcoming and functional. The glass softens the illumination, offering a natural glow ideal for bathrooms, dressing areas, or as an accent light in hallways or bedrooms. The milk glass is complemented by brushed aluminum fittings, adding a cool, metallic contrast to the warmth of the glass. These fittings showcase clean lines and expertly highlight the balance between industrial and modernist themes, a hallmark of Mayen’s work.
Designed for Habitat, a key brand known for delivering modernist furnishings during the Mid-Century era, this vanity light stands out as both versatile and timeless. It is an adaptable choice for interiors ranging from Mid-Century Modern and Minimalist to Contemporary aesthetics, providing not only practical illumination but also a sculptural element to complement the surrounding décor. Newly rewired to American Standards, this fixture accommodates two Edison base bulbs achieving up to 200 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
