Let There Be Light

Throughout his career, Charles Sévigny developed a great affinity for lighting design; a number of his creations are to be offered in the sale. His homes were always furnished with a great sensitivity to the optimal level of illumination and open space. As we see from these lots, using unusual materials and inventive shapes he created a range of interesting lighting features, each with its own unique way of affecting the surrounding environment.
