The Mai Collection by Christiane Lemieux is a study in restraint—an exploration of proportion, material, and the soft diffusion of light. Drawing from the disciplined geometry of French 1930s lighting design, its lineage traces to Pierre Chareau’s Maison de Verre and the sculptural rationalism of Michel Roux-Spitz, where architectural clarity met the intimacy of domestic scale. Here, light becomes spatial and deliberate. A vertical cylinder in opaline glass stands poised like a column of captured air, while the mount in burnished brass and aged iron creates a tactile interplay of glow and gravity. Dual-finished metalwork introduces warmth and weight, complementing the opaline shade’s diffused, architectural illumination.
Fixture is beautiful in person. Very sleek and modern. Assembly started out difficult as we tried to get the globe on the base of the fixture we were unable to get our hands inside the globe because it was too narrow, then we discovered the black apparatus that was included that took care of that process by attaching it to the end cap piece and screwing it in the globe. Very helpful tool . Thanks to the manufacturer for including that item. Item highly recommended if you like this style.. Courtnay. Arabi, LA. Tue May 26 2026
