Lampe de Marseille was named after the Unité d’Habitation in Marseille, the massive building designed between 1949 and 1952 by Le Corbusier and a symbol of Brutalist architecture.

About the Brand

Founded in 1993 by Franco Cassina and Carlo Forcolini in Italy, Nemo was established to recreate the lighting pieces that best represented the “Golden Age” of Italian lighting design of the 1960s and 70s. Nemo acquired ItalianaLuce five years later, offering a line of clean, relaxed modern lighting that provided an informal counterpoint to the vintage mid-century authenticity found in Nemos modernist line of Franco Albini-designed lighting.
