The lights on exhibition are part of the “Editions Serge Mouille” series made by Mouille’s widow Gin in 2000. Each light is certified by Gin Mouille.
Serge Mouille was one of the most important creators of lights in the ’50s and ’60s. He introduced a new style in this area, in contrast with the models in favour at that time, which he disliked for their overly complicated shapes and combinations of different colours and materials.
He fought this disorder with his handmade lights of great elegance and simplicity. He created pure forms inspired by eroticism and nature, a discrete, airy presence in the room, strictly in black and white.
Between 1953 and 1962 he made his unique lamps for the great decorators of the day – Jacques Adnet, Paule Marrot, Louis Sognot – and worked with numerous architects including Jean Prouvé, Marcel Prou, Claude Parent.
