Like a powder case or a precious box, the mechanical action of opening or closing makes the object reassuring and immediately understandable. The light is diffused by a thick glass pane, throughout its depth. Inside, the polished brass flap acts as a pivoting mirror thanks to a visible hinge.

The light can be switched on and dimmed, to give time to accept on self. The light is manually adjustable, not with a dimmer but with a shutter that is opened or closed according to the desired light intensity.

Originally designed for the bathroom, POUDRIER can also be used in a hallway or entrance.
