JUMO at BINK When Bakelite Was the FutureBefore Dyson’s hinges or Flyte’s levitation, there was the JUMO Classique—the 1930s streamline desk lamp that moved like a contortionist. Created by André Mounique and Gustave Miklos, highlighting the sleek style of that period so liked by Parisian intellectuals, its genius hides in plain sight. The Bakelite “knuckles” were revolutionary, the first plastic durable enough to survive both cafés and wars. The stem folds flat, combining practicality with Gallic flair reminiscent of modern laptops. And the same E14 socket ensures compatibility with your vintage BINK bulbs, proving its timeless appeal.We’re proud to import this design because, like Bolichwerke’s Bauhaus icons, it’s a relic that refuses to retire.Why JUMO?

Here’s why we let it stay: The JUMO Classique's Origin Story 1937, Paris: Martin, a Renault engineer by day, lighting anarchist by night, grew tired of lamps that stood stiff like bureaucrats. His solution? A lamp with:6 friction joints (each lined with asbestos-free fibers—progress!)Friction but silent adjustability disguised as eleganceA name borrowed from JUMent de bureau (“desk workhorse”)Fun fact: The first prototypes used repurposed bicycle grips for joints.The Original Brief:“A lamp that could survive absinthe spills, cigar smoke, and the weight of Sartre’s existential crises.”SHOP JUMO — The JUMO doesn’t balance light—it argues with gravity. And wins.
