In France, \u201cLes Trente Glorieuses<\/a>\u201d refer to the three decades after the World War II , they were marked by a huge scientific, technological, economic, and social development. These advances kept exuberant public optimism up in the 1960s. It was the time of national positivism and it remained uninterrupted until the beginning of the 1973 Oil Crisis. During this bustling period, art, architecture, decorative arts, and fashion flourished.<\/p>\n

Demisch Danant<\/strong><\/em> wanted to celebrate the vision and breakthroughs that shaped this creative boom through this mid-century French design<\/strong><\/em> exhibition.

The emergence of new lighting technologies greatly influenced designers during that period. More sophisticated fluorescent tubes and the arrival of new halogen bulbs sparked creativity in architectural lighting.<\/p>\n
