Designed by Le Corbusier in 1963 for the Parliament in Chandigarh in India, Parliament is a symbol of 1950s modernism, inspired by the industrial lighting of the time. The adjustable diffuser consists of two open symmetrical cones for direct and indirect lighting. The finishes reflect the “claviers de couleurs” colour system developed by the Swiss-French master.

“Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms”.
