The company, active primarily from the 1950s to the 1970s, is particularly renowned for its exceptional chandeliers, sconces, and pendant lights. Arlus was recognized for producing sophisticated, high-quality lighting fixtures that combined both innovative and timeless designs, making a significant mark in the history of French decorative arts.
The designs of Arlus were often characterized by their elegant yet bold forms, frequently utilizing luxurious materials such as brass, copper, and glass. Many of their pieces incorporated sleek, minimalist lines that reflected the spirit of the mid-century modern movement.

Arlus collaborated with renowned designers of the era, producing pieces in line with the avant-garde aesthetics of the time, similar in style to contemporaries such as Lunel and Stilnovo. Arlus lighting fixtures were often created in small, limited series, ensuring exclusivity and high quality.
Over time, Arlus fixtures became highly sought-after due to their sophisticated designs and durable craftsmanship. The brand’s signature combination of refined materials, geometric shapes, and artistic sensibilities made it a favorite among collectors, interior designers, and art enthusiasts alike.
