About Us

Get ready to discover the unique world of ARPEL LIGHTING. Here, no light is ordinary, and no fixture is left forgotten in a corner: every piece tells its own story.

It all begins with François-Xavier BALLERY, a designer passionate about the immaterial magic of light and cutting-edge technologies. But his curiosity doesn't stop there: he loves human encounters, exchanges, and lively debates about design. His language? A subtle alphabet where each lamp, each detail, becomes a word, a sentence, and luminous poetry.

In 2024, a new chapter begins with Julien Gau, who takes the reins of the ARPEL adventure with the ambition to extend and reinvent the path traced by the founder. The setting? An open space on Rue Saint-Benoît, in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where light and creativity meet every day.

Today, ARPEL LIGHTING offers a collection of fixtures that combines innovation and elegance. Far from clichés and traditional lighting stereotypes, each creation is designed to be functional, refined, and inspiring. ARPEL's promise rests on three simple principles: useful, well-designed, and perfectly crafted luminaires.

A story of passion, audacity… and light.
