Maison Berger History and Benefits

Originally designed in 1898 to purify the air in hospitals, the catalytic lamp designed by Maurice Berger, a pharmacy dispenser, soon became very popular with the public. After being later reconfigured to also perfume the air, Maison Berger continues to work with the best perfume-makers in France to create exceptional and refined fragrances. Leading figures from the art and design community such as Coco Chanel, Picasso, and Jean Cocteau, and most recently Jonathan Adler also helped the Lampe Berger become a stylish, decorative home essential, appreciated for its sleek, delicate design and elegant scents.

The Lampe Berger diffuses scents and purifies the air in under thirty minutes and continues to fragrance even large rooms for more than two hours. As the largest Maison Berger retailer in Illinois, we are proud to stock a wide variety of lamps, fragrances, candles, and additional Maison Berger products and accessories.
