About This Piece

Vintage Design

Jean Boris Lacroix (1902-1984) was a French designer and architect known for his modernist lighting designs. After apprenticing with Paul Dumas, he debuted at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in 1927. Lacroix became a key figure in lighting innovation, working with Robert Caillat and later Jacques Biny at Luminalite, where he explored radical designs using materials like metal and plexiglass. His work combined conservative 1940s elements with modern materials, producing iconic pieces.
