Description from the seller
Jieldé - Desk lamp - Loft D4400 (2-Arm) - Jean-Louis Domecq - France
Iconic Jieldé Loft 2-Arm Articulated Desk Lamp (Model D4400 / often referenced as D6000) – Dark Green Gloss Finish
Step into the golden era of French industrial craftsmanship with this authentic Jieldé Loft articulated desk lamp. Designed in the early 1950s by French engineer Jean-Louis Domecq, the Jieldé lamp remains one of the most recognizable and celebrated icons of 20th-century functional lighting. Domecq engineered these lamps out of necessity for workshop use, inventing a revolutionary wireless contact system: circular copper rings inside each joint allow full 360-degree rotation without twisting or damaging internal wires.
This particular model belongs to the classic Loft collection (Official catalog code D4400, commonly referred to as the D6000 series in international auction catalogs). Executed in a rich, factory-original glossy dark green finish (Vert Atelier / Vert Bouteille), it combines heavy-duty durability with timeless aesthetic appeal.
The lamp features the original oval metal emblem riveted to the shade socket, stamped "Jieldé 1950 Made in France" along with its unique individual serial number: N° 94417.

About the Designer
Jean-Louis Domecq (1915–1983) was a visionary French engineer and designer best known for revolutionizing industrial lighting. Frustrated by the fragile wiring and rigid mechanisms of 1940s workshop lamps, Domecq set out to construct a fully adjustable, heavy-duty lighting system capable of withstand demanding factory environments. In 1950, he perfected his breakthrough design featuring internal copper contact rings—eliminating loose wires inside the joints—and established the company Jieldé in 1953 (a name derived from the French pronunciation of his initials: J-L-D). Today, Domecq's creation is celebrated worldwide as a masterwork of mid-century French industrial design.
