DCW Editions In The Tube ITT 120-700 Wall & Pendant Lamp in Silver-Gold Tr by Dominique Perrault & Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost The architect Dominique Perrault and the designer Gaëlle Lauriot‑Prévost designed this collection — which until now has never been produced — with the objective of it being utterly original, almost indescribable, nearly unbreakable, timeless and completely durable. The « In The Tube » collection comprises strong ideas, forms that are both free and constrained, and it comes in several lengths, diameters and colours. Made in borosilicate glass and closed with aluminium stoppers sealed in silicon, the mountings are in stainless-steel which allow it to be used as a suspension as well as on a wall or ceiling-mount. « In The Tube » diffuses a soft, filtered light that can be oriented by the movable mesh filter or by a reflector whose colour determines the light given off: stainless steel for a silver light, anodised aluminium for copper or gold. The « In The Tube » collection of high-performance tubes could be just as easily at home in a James Bond spy kit as it could in a Jules Verne rocket. IP64, it can be used Indoor and Outdoor In 2008, Dominique Perrault described himself in eleven words : School. Rupture. Defiance. Void. Wall. Earth. Land art. Site. Place. Happiness. And finally, Mesh, a supple material that has structure but whose very essence is to be present and yet be invisible. It is a material that is both rigorous and poetic, virtual yet present and which the architect has used in the past as a way of delineating a geographic area, either as a protection or a way of welcoming, as well as a way of channelling natural or artificial light. This is the same mesh that Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost have adapted, manipulated, contorted and transplanted into the inner workings of their lamps to create the thousands of exceptional and powerful lighting solutions that light up the French National Library, day and night. Not one who is prone to brandishing himself in the media, his conceptual hedonism comes allied with an infectious enthusiasm and a healthy dose of fun. Dominique Perrault’s signature is barely seen on products. It is something of an event therefore when he uses it, along with that of Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost, on the IN THE TUBE and IN THE SUN collections. It is, in its way, a way of domesticating and refining the raw power of the industrial, of filtering the source into something considered and thought-out, resulting in an object that is comfortable, soft and sophisticated. This transfer of universes is nothing new. The domestic interior is these days constantly being penetrated by the industrial, which in turn has long since lost its aura of being something nasty and noisy, separate to the rest of the world. Nowadays it is normal to make use of these components which fit naturally into the world of design.
