Designed in 1950 by Jean-Louis Domecq — who named his company Jieldé after the French pronunciation of his initials, J-L-D — it was conceived for his own mechanical workshop in Saint-Priest, near Lyon, before becoming a fixture of French factories, architects' offices and, eventually, domestic life. \"I just love them,\" Walter says simply, and this example's honest patina makes the feeling entirely mutual.\n\nFinished in a muted grey-blue, the lamp has the straightforward, utilitarian character that made it an enduring icon of mid-century French design. Its two long articulated arms pivot at ball-jointed connections, with electrical contacts built directly into the joints — Domecq's ingenious solution that eliminated visible wiring entirely. The original bench clamp allows it to be fixed securely to the edge of a desk, worktop or table and repositioned with ease. The domed shade and worn metal surfaces speak to decades of genuine, affectionate use.\n\nOriginally at home in workshops and studios, the Jieldé reached a wider domestic audience when Terence Conran included it in the Habitat catalogue, and it has been manufactured and assembled in France ever since. This example — a tangible piece of daily life at Chanteduc — would be equally at ease clamped to a kitchen worktop, a writing desk or a studio table, casting its focused beam with the same quiet efficiency it brought to Walter's countless hours of repairs and bricolage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMust be rewired and installed in accordance with local electrical requirements.\u003cbr\u003eUp to approx. 51¼\" long x 8¾\" wide x 6\"   \u003cbr\u003eUp to approx. 130cm long x 22cm wide x 15cm  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310834405714,"sku":"25412","price":1179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC01667_27c06f41-0aa0-4307-8af7-9ae50accc5b0.jpg?v=1787301228","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/jielde-french-industrial-articulated-workshop-lamp-w-gray-patina","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
