{"title":"Rougier (Maison Rougier)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRougier, often referred to as Maison Rougier, was a Canadian lighting and furniture design company best known for its sculptural acrylic lamps produced during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s through 1980s. The company is closely associated with designer Roger Rougier (1926–1993), a French-born cabinetmaker and designer who later established his career in Canada. Roger Rougier trained as a cabinetmaker in Paris and opened his own workshop in 1950, eventually developing a design style that blended traditional craftsmanship with modernist aesthetics. His work, and the company that bore his name, became known for innovative use of materials—especially acrylic, resin, and plexiglass—often combined with brass or metal bases. Maison Rougier gained prominence for its highly distinctive lighting designs, including shell lamps, tulip forms, and clustered tube lamps. These pieces are characterized by organic, sculptural shapes and dramatic lighting effects. Many of their lamps were produced in Canada and are considered iconic examples of mid-century modern and postmodern design. In the 1970s, Rougier’s “tube lamps” became particularly notable and were even used as futuristic props in film and television productions, including science fiction series. Today, Rougier lamps are highly collectible and appreciated for their bold design, innovative materials, and strong representation of late mid-century and postmodern lighting trends.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/trendy-mcm-home.myshopify.com\/en-ie\/collections\/rougier-maison-rougier.oembed","provider":"Trendy Modern Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
