Max Sauze is a French industrial designer best known for his light fixtures and side tables. He was born in Algiers in Algeria in 1933 and studied at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Algiers and the École Camondo in Paris before establishing his eponymous aluminum company.
His lamps are typically made from metal sheets and bent, woven aluminum. They look like heaven structures, enclosing the light bulb. Sauze’s work was influenced heavily by the theories of Nikolaus Pevsner, a German-Brittish architectural historian. The designer’s most famous pieces are named after constellations.
He lives and works in Éguilles, France, on the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, where his sculpture garden, the Garden of Éguilles, is a treat for the eyes and one that is open to the public.
