6 Lights That Define Jielde
Simple, robust, articulated. These core goals of the Jielde brand form the foundation of every light produced in their French studio. The original light, crafted by Jean-Louis Domecq, was meant to properly light workspaces and adjust as needed – hence the articulated arm that has become a signature element of each Jielde desk, wall, and floor light.
Over the years, the Jielde collection has grown, always staying true the principles that produced the iconic modern lights we now know and love. Looking around, you can spot a Jielde light and contemporary lights inspired by them in an instant – that is the power of functionally exquisite good ideas executed beautifully.
Anatomy of a Jielde Light
Though the jointed arm is definitely the signature aspect of a Jielde light, there are some other parts and materials that make a Jielde light as memorable as it is.
The first is the lack of cord. You’ll notice that each light is lacking the exposed cord. This is primarily because Domecq desired a true work lamp, one that never got in the way and was purely useful. The second notable element is the metal. According to the Jielde website, the lamp was originally made from a “revolutionary concept made of chrysocale, an alloy of copper, zinc, and tin.”
Materials are vital to the longevity of a light and for lights made for factories and offices, it can make or break the usefulness of the light overall. Today, it is still vital to the legacy of Jielde and the durability of their modern lights.
6 Lights That Define Jielde
Jielde is no longer restrained to the workplace. Now, the lights can be seen in homes, restaurants, retail stores, hotels, and many other places we gather, learn, and commune together. These incredibly beloved lights truly stand as a testament to not only Domecq’s genius, but the iconic nature of a well-made lamp.
Loft Double-Arm Ceiling Light - SKY4224
Unique in every way, the Double Arm Ceiling Light is the very essence of functional and adaptable. Its two, jointed arms can pivot to direct the two lights where needed, making it the perfect gallery wall light, kitchen island pendant, or even illumination for your reading nook.
Loft Desk Lamp D6000
A classic of the collection, this slightly less jointed table lamp is still flexible. Perhaps better suited as a bedside table light or in a space meant more for relaxing than work, the Loft Desk Lamp D6000 still has the Jielde light charm and adaptability.
Augustin Pendant
A later addition to the Jielde light collection, the Augustin Pendant veers away from the signature jointed collection to present an updated, yet beautifully vintage looking, ceiling pendant light. Featuring a bell-shaped shade, the Augustin Pendant is simple yet effective, offering a directed glow for task-oriented spaces like kitchen islands and reception desks.
Signal Wall Sconce
Shrinking the articulated arm concept into a short wall sconce, the principle of adaptability is not lost. The Signal Wall Sconce features the same shade, materials, and joint as the rest of the original series, but scales it down into the perfect task-centered wall light. Use these lights next to the bed or in smaller workspaces for more ambient lighting.
Signal Zig-Zag Floor Lamp
Industrial and a little whimsical, the Signal Zig-Zag Floor Lamp expands the articulated arm construction into a series of four arms, each with a hinge that allows the floor light to shrink or expand. Available in all the Jielde color finishes, the Zig-Zag lamp will definitely charm anyone who sees it and provide the perfect light and movement to any modern space.
Loft 1-Arm Clamp Lamp
Heading back to the drafting table, desk, or factory work bench, the Loft 1-Arm Clamp Lamp has an extra piece of functionality to its composition: the table clamp. This feature allows the lamp to attach along the edge of any table or even railing, removing the table light from the restraints of a flat surface.
