GAU Lighting Paris was born from the legacy of Maison Lucien Gau, a renowned bronze craftsman. Since the 1970s, the brand has combined tradition and modernity with rare expertise in metalwork, glass, and premium finishes. Based in the Bastille district of Paris, GAU Lighting Paris designs and manufactures all its fixtures in the Île-de-France region. Clean lines, refined materials, and minimalist forms make each piece a true design statement.
Among the most iconic GAU Lighting Paris creations are contemporary lamps blending metal and glass with sophistication. With sculptural shapes—sometimes minimal, sometimes bold—these lights bring a strong identity to both interiors and bespoke projects. They are highly sought-after in the luxury hotel industry for their discreet elegance and precisely controlled lighting.
