The model of wall lights we present you comes from the banqueting room of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Paris, former Hotel of the Potocki family.
On the occasion of the extension of the Potocki Hotel, the architect, decorator and Art Deco genius Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann was chosen to design the lounge levels.
At the end of 1933, after the death of Jacques Emile Ruhlmann, the final project was presented by Paul Viard and Marcel Dastugue, in charge of the buildings of the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Some of the interior decorations are now classified as historical monuments.
