Collection Story
Origin
Seagull is a family of luminaires designed by Thierry Dreyfus for DCW éditions. It asks how a pendant light, wall sconce or ceiling fixture can be both discreet and refined.
Design Language
The aim is a luminaire that blends into a space without overpowering it, with the timeless elegance of Art Deco reinterpreted with a modern touch. Frank Lloyd Wright had explored the idea with the façade of the Johnson Wax Building (1936-1939), where glass tubes diffused exterior light into the interior with an almost magical softness. Light that spreads without revealing its source inspired Dreyfus to envision these luminaires as he would like to see and experience them in his own house today.
Key Pieces
Three products: Seagull Wall, Seagull Pendant Horizontal 1200 and Seagull Pendant Horizontal 1600.
