A French decorator and architect based in Belgium, Alban Chambon designed major monuments in the Belgian capital and along its coastline. As the head of a company founded in Brussels in 1868, he worked with many architects before later collaborating with his own sons. Among them was Alfred Chambon, who developed a passion for modern architecture and furniture. Together, father and son created major decorative ensembles, from which these luminaires with their neo-classical motifs are derived.
