R3591 - Jieldé lamp with 2 arms on a wood and metal base

This must-have of mid-century decor, between workshop and ingenious design — this lamp by Jean-Louis Domecq, the famous Jieldé lamp — has gone through the workshop for a brushed finish, revised electrification, and adaptation to a unique wooden and metal base, transforming it into a table lamp or reading light by the bed. It appeals to all Arty enthusiasts for its Artisan Intelligence: the ability to enhance the gesture, the direct contact with the material, the long time, and the transmission. Ah! Do these words make you shiver. Do you feel that this vocabulary is outdated today. Don't be disheartened: the Flea Market and Antiques are here to save the world. Rediscover a bit of humanity with this fabulous Jieldé lamp… and the light, of course! Adjustable in all directions, without a cable but with copper connectors in the joints. Indestructible! To go further: in 1972, NASA sealed a gold-plated aluminum plaque on the Pioneer 10 probe, designed by Carl Sagan — a message from humanity sent to the stars: a man, a woman, and a map to find Earth. A message in an interstellar bottle, made to last longer than the Solar System. That’s what a Jieldé lamp is: a Pioneer plaque at human height that tells us who we are, long after we’re gone. Original brass drop-shaped switch on the conical base. Ready to plug in, works perfectly. Vintage condition acknowledged, with full transparency — slight scratches and signs of use, slight oxidation in places, natural wood splits. The patina adds charm; it’s the beauty of imperfection. And beauty will save the world, said Dostoevsky! Dimensions (cm): base Ø28. Arm H40. Socket E27. Bulb not included. Net weight 10kg.
