LAMBERT & FILS - LAURENT 08 SUSPENSION CHANDELIER: IDENTIFICATION
A contemporary horizontal suspension lamp featuring a cluster of parallel sandblasted acrylic tubes and brass-finished aluminum cylinders. The design utilizes a modular aesthetic where the light sources (LED) are integrated into the translucent tubes, offset by opaque metal cylinders of varying lengths arranged in a staggered, topographical formation. The fixture is suspended by two height-adjustable aircraft cables from a matching rectangular brass ceiling canopy.

CROSS-CULTURAL PARALLELS
Where This Object Echoes
The use of industrial geometries and the exposure of 'honest' materials like metal and glass echoes Walter Gropius's school of thought.
Ritual & Ceremonial Use
- •Task lighting for the contemporary domestic 'hearth'—the kitchen island—where food preparation and social interaction converge.
Meaning Through Time
Lighting transitioned from a functional hidden utility to a 'room-defining' sculptural installation that anchors the interior's architecture.
PRODUCTION PERIOD
COLLECTOR NOTES
The designer, Samuel Lambert, originally worked as a visual artist before founding the studio in a small Montreal storefront in 2010.
SCARCITY
Genuine antiques with fewer examples on the market. Named makers, documented provenance, or early production examples.

Typical Characteristics
- Limited production
- Named makers
- Growing collector demand
Confidence Factors
- Specific bracket and canopy design are consistent with Lambert & Fils proprietary mounting hardware
- Material transitions between opacity and translucency match known high-end production standards
- Complexity of staggered tube arrangement is rarely replicated accurately in mass-market copies
DESIGN HISTORIAN'S TAKE
Furniture Historian & Restoration Specialist
High confidence due to the distinct design language, mounting hardware, and material finish which are highly characteristic of the Lambert & Fils atelier. Market comparables on 1stDibs and Architonic support the valuation and attribution.
KEY EVIDENCE
- 1Modular architecture utilizing varying lengths of 50mm diameter cylinders
- 2Proprietary brass finish typical of North American boutique lighting manufacturers
- 3Integrated LED strips within sandblasted housing, a hallmark of mid-2010s lighting design
- 4Suspension system using high-tensile aircraft cable with micro-adjustment grippers
UNCERTAINTIES
- •Visible wiring at the top of the tubes suggests a possible DIY adjustment or non-factory installation quirk
- •High-end lighting has many 'tribute' versions; lack of a visible maker's mark on the canopy end-cap would be the primary concern
WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY
- →Check the interior of the ceiling canopy for a UL listing label or manufacturer stamp
- →Examine the end caps of the tubes for the Lambert & Fils logo etching
- →Verify the dimming driver type, as authentic units use high-quality Lutron or equivalent drivers
CONDITION & GRADE
Condition
The fixture appears to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible scratches to the brass finish or yellowing of the acrylic tubes. The aircraft cables show consistent tension and no fraying at the junction points.
