Ar-Men, the lighthouse that stands isolated on the reefs off the coast of Brittany on the west end of France, plays an important role in ensuring the safety of ships at sea.
The construction of this lighthouse, which stands on a reef surrounded by ocean on all sides, was so difficult that it took all of 14 years from commencement of work in 1867 to the lighting of the lamp in 1881, because work could only take place during the ebb tide, when the waves were calm.
The workwear brand ARMEN obviously takes inspiration from this lighthouse, which stands up to uninterrupted battering from the waves. ARMEN symbolizes products that can withstand the harshest working conditions.
