Bohemian Paris
“Years ago Nynke and I were having a summer lunch with Loic and Julien of Carpenter’s on the top of Centre Pompidou, I had this amazing view of the Tour Eiffel and recalled about my Bohemian life in Paris back in the nineties. You know, when the world was young and Tour Eiffel was my best friend and close neighbour. Anyway, somewhere between entrée and main the guys commissioned a lamp. One thing led to another!”
– Job Smeets, Antwerp, 2012
Paris Lamp
The ultimate effort for the ultimate work. A Renaissance piece for the contemporary applied arts.
