ESCARGOT CEILING LAMP
Details:
The Escargot ceiling lamp is inspired by snail shell, with its swirling cut out in the circular shade. Light projects downward through the opening while the shade causes light to reflect from the ceiling.
The tripod shade is a classic Serge Mouille icon. The body and shade are made from molded lacquered metal, the interior of the shade is finished in lacquered white to reflect the light. Hardware and fittings on the Serge Mouille lighting luminaires are finished with solid brass swivel connections at the joints which allows each head to be moved.
Each Mouille lamp is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Many of the floor and wall scones can be ordered with a custom arm length.
The Escargot ceiling lamp is designed by Serge Mouille, 1954

About Serge Mouille: |
|
Serge Mouille was a french designer and artist who began his career at a young age as a silversmith. By 1952 Serge Mouille had become the director of of the department at the School of Applied Arts in Paris.
In 1953 Jacques Adnet hired him to design lighting fixtures, an art to which he devoted the rest of his life.
In 1953 the first model was born, which became his most iconic design, the standing lamp with 3 arms all ending with the aluminum "nipple" shaped shades. Serge Mouille lamps became famous around the world. He worked to achieve a kinetic, sculptural aesthetic that evoked a sense of movement in space.
In 1964, Mouille ceased production of his designs and settled down. He worked and taught for the rest of his life, showing his lighting and jewelry at several exhibitions. In 1988 he pasted away. His family continues his legacy today with newly made edition, made with the same tools Serge Mouille once used. |
