Founded in 1976 in La Fare les Oliviers under the artistic direction of Gilles Derain, LUMEN CENTER has a rich history in design and lighting. Derain, a leading figure in contemporary French design and member of the UAM (Union des Artistes Modernes), drew on the teachings of Jacques Adnet and international modernism in shaping his style.
One of his notable creations, the MCP lamp from 1979, reflects his careful research and design approach. It became a commercial success and is now part of the permanent collection at the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts.
