Les Acrobates de Gras: Modular Design Pendant Light with a Single Power Source (322, 324 and Accessories)

Les Acrobates de Gras: Modular Design Pendant Light with a Single Power Source (322, 324 and Accessories)

The Les Acrobates de Gras collection by DCW Éditions offers an innovative approach to interior lighting: a modular design pendant light that adapts to any space. Thanks to its clever system, you can create fully customized lighting compositions while keeping the installation simple, clean, and visually elegant.

A single power source for your entire installation

A single power source for your entire installation

One of the key advantages of Les Acrobates de Gras is that they operate using just one electrical source. Unlike traditional pendant lights that require multiple ceiling connections, this system allows you to power the entire installation from a single outlet. Electricity is distributed between each light, making it possible to create complex lighting arrangements without additional wiring. This makes it an ideal solution for renovations while maintaining a clean and minimalist ceiling.

The Acrobates de Gras system relies on two essential components. The AC1 serves as the starting point: it connects to the main power supply and distributes electricity throughout the installation. The AC2 acts as a linking element, connecting the different pendant lights together. Available in 50 cm or 100 cm, it allows you to structure your composition in various ways—linear, offset, or more graphic. Together, AC1 and AC2 create a flexible system that is both functional and visually coherent.

Choosing between Les Acrobates de Gras 322 and 324 directly impacts the final aesthetic of your lighting composition. The 322 model, with its double cable forming a V-shape, creates a dynamic and graphic visual effect, perfect for bold and expressive interiors. The 324 model, on the other hand, features a more vertical and streamlined design, offering a minimalist and elegant look, ideal for clean and structured arrangements above a dining table or kitchen island.

3-light configuration: balance and elegance

A 3-pendant configuration is one of the most popular choices. It provides balanced lighting while adding a strong design element. Using model 322 creates a more dynamic and decorative effect, while model 324 delivers a clean and linear look. This setup works perfectly above a dining table, kitchen island, or workspace.

5-light configuration: a striking architectural effect

For a more dramatic result, a 5-pendant composition transforms lighting into a true architectural feature. By combining models 322 and 324, you can play with shapes, heights, and rhythm to create a unique installation. This type of setup is ideal for large living spaces, high ceilings, or open areas, where lighting becomes a central design statement.

A modular pendant light for every interior

Whether installed in a straight line above a table, arranged asymmetrically in a living room, or designed in a zigzag layout for a creative effect, the possibilities are endless. Different cable lengths also allow you to play with height and volume, making each installation truly unique and tailored to your space.

The origin of Les Acrobates de Gras: an idea inspired by movement

The origin of Les Acrobates de Gras: an idea inspired by movement

As explained by the co-founder of DCW Éditions, the creation of Les Acrobates de Gras is rooted in a simple principle, true to Bernard-Albin Gras’ philosophy: for every problem, there is an intelligent solution.

Originally, Bernard-Albin Gras had never designed a pendant light. As an engineer, he believed that a wire, a bulb, and a lampshade already existed, so it was not a real design challenge. For a long time, the brand did not offer any pendant lighting, despite frequent requests.

The idea finally emerged from an unexpected moment. While watching circus acrobats, suspended in the air and passing movement from one to another with precision, it became clear: what if the solution to moving light in space came from this very motion?

This is how the concept of Les Acrobates de Gras was born — a system designed to shift and position light freely within a space, while maintaining balance, tension, and lightness.

From this insight came a structure based on cables and connection points, allowing the creation of flexible, graphic, and functional lighting compositions. True to the Gras legacy, the system was developed with strong technical precision, particularly in its joints and mounting elements.

Today, Les Acrobates de Gras perfectly embody this philosophy: an elegant solution to structure space and position light with precision, while offering complete creative freedom.
