In the late ’60s, I stumbled upon a quaint Parisian lighting shop where I met the elderly man with stories. He told me how the visionary Georges Claude almost abandoned his neon dream after a creative neon signage ideas; have a peek here, signs may seem like an American invention, but their roots trace back to Paris. In the summer of ’68, I stumbled upon a small, hidden shop where I met a humble lighting master.

He told me how the brilliant Georges Claude almost abandoned his gas-lit project after a unfortunate test run in Marseille.
