The story of Jieldé:
The History of the Jieldé lamp traces back to 1951 when Jean Louis Domecq found himself annoyed by always repairing the existing articulated lamps in his workshop and studio. So one day he decided to design a robust and multifunctional model that caught on internationally and remains a design icon to this day.

Domecq's breakthrough came from a simple yet ingenious idea: to eliminate the troublesome electrical cord that hindered the lamp's full rotation. He envisioned a design where the cord would be concealed within the articulated arm, ensuring it never tangled again.

Additionally, Domecq aimed for interchangeability, devising four fundamental elements that could be mass-produced and effortlessly assembled, even by those lacking in manual dexterity. Conducting electricity through sliding contacts within its joints, it could be extended or contracted according to need, unaffected by vibrations and impervious to water damage.
