Jean-Louis Domecq - Lamp - Jilde - Steel - Model Jielde, First Series

Splendid and iconic industrial work lamp Jielde (classic articulated-arm model, identified as Standard or Loft), designed in France in the 1950s by Jean-Louis Domecq (whose acronym Ji-el-dé gives the brand its name).

Here are some details that make it a unique design piece and highly sought after:

The wire-free joints: The true genius of this lamp lies in its joints. Domecq patented an internal copper electrical contact system (inside the spherical joints) that allows the arms to be oriented and rotated in any direction without risking breaking or tangling the electrical cord, which therefore does not run inside the movable arms.

The shade with a "handle": The hemispherical shade is surrounded by a distinctive metal ring that serves as a handle, designed to orient the light precisely without burning fingers when the bulb warms the metal.

Industrial style and patina: This specific piece shows a beautiful vintage patina, with signs of wear and rust on the original light green/bluish-green paint (often described as vert d’eau), which enhances its historical charm.

The custom base: The lamp is mounted on a heavy, dark circular base, a brake disc from a car, a classic solution used by restorers to give stability to these lamps, originally meant to be fixed directly to workbenches or machine tools in workshops.

Lamp is working. Joints working.

Height adjustable, two arms. As shown in the photo.
