Large chrome-plated steel ceiling lamp composed of large luminous blocks through which light is projected. Maison Jansen was founded in Paris in 1880 by Dutchman Jean-Henry Jansen.
The Paris location was in the Rue Royale, in a building constructed by architect Louis Le Tellier with Gabriel's façade designs, for Duke François Fréderic de la Rochefoucaund. Initially selling antiques, it later became an international emblem of luxury. In 1889, he participated in the Universal Exhibition in Paris and achieved worldwide fame.
Henry Jansen was the first to use the term 'decorator'. His vision revolutionised flat interiors. He invented the profession of interior designer. A transition imposed by the advent of the industry that took the place of the master cabinet-makers of the Faubourg Saint Antoine and the suppliers of the Mobilier National.
The term global decoration is used for the first time for the Jansen company. Henry Jansen created the Camondo school, which is still active today. He was able to mix theory and practice in his workshops from which came the great decorators we still remember today. In the 1930s, Pierre Delbée, Carlos Ortiz Cabrera, Francis Chaillou, Serge Robin, Henri Samuel, Claude Mandron and Arthur Kouwenhoven worked for Atelier Jansen in Paris.
