History • Maison Berger

הכול התחיל עם כוונה טובה: הכוונה של מוריס ברז'ה, רוקח, שרצה בסוף המאה ה-19 לטהר את האוויר בחדרי בתי החולים. תהליך חדשני נולד, מערכת הפצה דרך קטליזה, שלא הסתירה ריחות, אלא ממש השמידה אותם. למפה ברז'ה הייתה יצירה צרפתית ייחודית עם טכניקה מוגנת בפטנט הודות למבער הקטליטי שלה, שמציע עד היום איכות בישום שאין לה תחרות. לאחר מכן בא המפגש עם עולם האמנות, תשומת הלב של סלבריטאים ששיבחו מאוד את האובייקט החדשני הזה, והפרשנות שלו על ידי מעצבים ידועים. ולבסוף, התחלת פרק חדש.

The lampe Berger: from function to style

The dawn of the 20th century spotlighted the Art Nouveau period, when the beautiful and the useful came together, when art became a daily immersion.Propelled by the creativity of the era, the vision of a generation, of Coco, Picasso or Cocteau, Lampe Berger was promoted from object to icon, from the role of purifying the atmosphere to that of creating a mood. It was no longer just an efficient glass bottle, but an elegant exercise in style; it was no longer a matter of just purifying the air, but of diffusing delicate fragrances.The next chapter of the story was already being written.

Maison Berger Paris: a sign of the times

Lampe Berger anticipated a requirement, accompanied an era, foresaw a trend. From an accessory, it became an essential object. It was the preface to 125 years of creation which invited art and technique to interact; the pleasant and the useful to come together.

Then, it became more than a lamp: no longer just a bottle, it also became a candle, a twig, a bouquet. It was in glass or porcelain, and then became wax and wood too.
It is more than an object; it is a Maison, and all of the objects that inhabit it, all the fragrances that dwell within it.

It is Maison Berger Paris.
