The Eiffel Tower unveils a creation as rare as it is spectacular: a new edition of the Diamond Light crafted from the actual light bulbs once used to illuminate the monument at night. The result of a collaboration between LxA (Lagardère Travel Retail and Arteum) and the Parisian studio A+A Cooren, this exceptional lamp is produced in a limited run of just 500 pieces. For the first time, an authentic fragment of the “Iron Lady”—marked by the passage of time, the elements, and major events—becomes a design object destined to find a home in your interior. Each lamp is unique, carrying the memory of the monument and offering its owner a tangible piece of Parisian history.
A light fixture inspired by the monument’s architecture
To transform these heritage pieces into exceptional objects, Aki and Arnaud Cooren conceived a design that blends respect for the past with contemporary elegance. The base, inspired by the top of the Eiffel Tower, features its iconic crossbars, while the upper section—composed of an authentic lamp taken from the monument—retains its original patina. The light, once powerful enough to shine from a height of over 300 meters, has been readjusted to create a soft and warm ambiance. The designers also drew on Gustave Eiffel’s blueprints and chose the monument’s now-iconic yellow-brown color, reinforcing the connection between the object and its illustrious source.
The sparkle of the Eiffel Tower in your home
Beyond its symbolic significance, the Diamond Light is a fully functional lamp, offering three lighting modes inspired by the Eiffel Tower’s illuminations: steady golden light, a five-minute sparkle every hour, or a continuous sparkle. Each numbered piece comes with a certificate of authenticity and is presented in a wooden case reminiscent of those used for artworks.
Available exclusively on the Eiffel Tower’s online store starting July 8, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., this unique light fixture is priced at €990 including tax (excluding shipping) and can be shipped worldwide.
For visitors curious to discover it, the Diamond Light is also on display at the Eiffel Tower’s first-floor boutique.
Two Previous Editions of the Diamond of Light
In 2016 and 2017, the Eiffel Tower had already offered Diamonds of Light to collectors around the world. These very limited-edition items, which sold out in record time, were also made from decommissioned lights that had once illuminated the Eiffel Tower. However, unlike the 2026 Diamond of Light, they were not actual light fixtures.
