A lamp born in a workshop and that has never truly left it.

It all started in 1950.

It all began in 1950 when Jean-Louis Domecq designed a lamp adapted to the needs of his business: a simple, robust, articulated lamp with no cables in its joints. Its distinctive feature is its circular and concentric contact system in the articulated arms, a revolutionary concept made of chrysocale, an alloy of copper, zinc, and tin.

Very quickly, the lamp is passed around.

You find it in factories, on drawing boards, in architects' offices, but not only there; it finds its place everywhere in industry.

You adjust it, move it, use it all day long. It's discreet, never overdone, rarely noticed, but it does exactly what's expected of it.

That's often how an object becomes part of our daily lives, without us even paying attention.

From workshop to home

The lamp is gradually leaving workshops and entering interiors: it's arriving in our homes and apartments on a desk, a shelf, a living room table, a bedside table.

It didn't need to be rethought for this; it simply continued to be itself.

Jieldé, Today

More than 75 years later, Jieldé lamps are still manufactured near Lyon, with parts assembled, adjusted, and inspected by hand. This expertise is something we cultivate in our workshop.

The models have evolved, as have the sizes, but the principle remains the same: a light that can be directed and an object that lasts a lifetime.

Here, we manufacture lamps designed to last and accompany you at every stage.
