He developed the original design around 1950 for use in his own workshop, as he needed a robust and flexibly adjustable work lamp.
The name "Jieldé" is derived from the phonetic pronunciation of his initials: J.L.D\.
The lamp features an ingenious system of articulated joints equipped with electrical contact rings.
This allows the current to be conducted through the pivot points, eliminating the need for visible wiring within the arms.
Originally, these lamps were used in factories, workshops, and on drafting tables.
We have fitted it with a heavy cast iron base, an addition not present in the original design, as the lamp was originally intended to be screwed directly onto a work surface.
