LES ACROBATES DE GRAS | DCW Éditions Paris

A suspended tribute to the original Lampe Gras

Les Acrobates de Gras is a reinterpretation of the iconic Lampe Gras, originally created by Bernard-Albin Gras in 1921. Reimagined by DCW Editions as suspended fixtures, this collection keeps the industrial DNA of the original while exploring vertical space and modularity.

Elegant lines drawn in the air

Each pendant hangs from fine black textile cables, tracing bold, graphic lines through space. These compositions evoke high-wire acts or suspended choreography – a poetic nod to the collection’s name: Les Acrobates.

Customizable and dynamic configurations

From single to multi-light compositions (1 to 7 heads), this collection offers flexibility in shade shape (sphere, cone, double reflector), colors, cable lengths and ceiling structures. Perfect for adapting to any ceiling height or spatial need.

Technical design meets poetic freedom

Les Acrobates de Gras balance mechanical rigor with artistic expression. They float above your space like lightweight installations, offering functional light with strong architectural impact.

Designed for vertical spaces and bold volumes

This collection works beautifully in stairwells, entry halls, galleries or lofts – wherever height, rhythm and geometry create visual drama and spatial energy.
