The story of Jieldé began with a brilliant idea from Jean-Louis Domecq, who sought to design a worklamp that met his specific needs. His vision was to create a lighting solution that was not only robust and simple but also highly functional.

The true innovation lay in his ingenious sliding contacts. By eliminating cables in the lamp’s joints, Domecq’s design prevented breakage, improved durability, and enhanced safety—qualities that were particularly vital in industrial environments. This groundbreaking concept emerged during the height of the Industrial Revolution in France, a time when innovation and practicality were paramount.

From these humble beginnings, the company quickly gained traction. Based in France, Jieldé’s designs stood out for their unique combination of charm and functionality. The lamps became sought-after pieces, celebrated for their timeless aesthetic and practical ingenuity. In 2019 Jieldé came out with a duplicate smaller version of this design called The Signal Series

Thanks to their innovative design and enduring appeal, Jieldé lamps soon found their way into homes and workplaces around the world, earning a global reputation as icons of industrial design.
