\u00c9tienne Fermigier F161 Floor Lamp<\/h2>\n

Produced by Monix in France circa 1968, the F161 floor lamp combines a cast-iron base, a chromed-metal structure and white lacquered metal elements. This example is marked \u201cMonix Paris\u201d beneath the base.<\/p>\n

The vertical composition places direct emphasis on the materials and construction. The contrast between the white lacquer, chromed metal and the visual weight of the cast-iron base gives the lamp a restrained, precise and functional presence.<\/p>\n

Context and Edition<\/h2>\n

The F161 belongs to the group of lighting designs developed by \u00c9tienne Fermigier for Monix in the late 1960s. This collaboration is documented by a Monix trade catalogue published circa 1970 and by the journal Techniques and Architecture<\/em>, no. 5, March 1972. This body of work was also the subject of the exhibition \u00c9tienne Fermigier: Lighting for Monix<\/em>, presented by Demisch Danant in 2021.<\/p>\n

Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in Paris in 1932, \u00c9tienne Fermigier studied at the \u00c9cole Boulle and then at the \u00c9cole nationale sup\u00e9rieure des arts d\u00e9coratifs, graduating in interior architecture in 1957. He opened his design studio that same year and, in 1959, founded the Meubles et Fonction gallery with Pierre Perrigault.<\/p>\n

His work encompassed furniture, lighting and industrial design. Awarded the Prix Ren\u00e9-Gabriel in 1967, Fermigier is now represented in the collections of the Centre Pompidou, the Mus\u00e9e des Arts d\u00e9coratifs and the Mobilier national. His career was cut short in 1973.<\/p>\n
