Disderot lighting fixtures, a design story

French avant-garde designer of exceptional lighting fixtures, Pierre Disderot opened his workshop in Cachan in 1948. A true pioneer in his field, he displayed a surge of modernism and elegance characteristic of the era.

Highlighting a project at the heart of a story of friendship and design

After several years of absence, Disderot lighting fixtures are making a comeback, and to our great delight! On the program, a mythical and modern collection with pieces designed by design icons from the 50's to the 70's such as Roger Fatus, Pierre Paulin, Alain Richard or Joseph-André Motte. A remarkable collaboration, placed under the sign of friendship and love of design.

Pierre Disderot: the inventor of modern light in the twentieth century

What would lamps be without Pierre Disderot's 1013 model? Thought of as a desk lamp, this lighting fixture with its perfect height and proportions make it a design icon. In a bedroom, on the living room cabinet, at the end of a sofa, the 1013 lamp will find its place in any interior thanks to its worked finishes and wide range of colors.

Roger Fatus: refined modernism

Minimalist, refined, ultra-light and easily transportable, Roger Fatus' designs are unusually modern for the 1960s. Thanks to perfect proportions and a novel shape combining symmetry and asymmetry, Fatus transforms our interior with the appearance of Plexiglas. The classic lampshade now becomes a timeless design statement.

Olivier Mourgue: when genius meets flora

Finesse and innovation are adjectives that wonderfully describe the achievements of Olivier Mourgue. An unusual lighting system with a flower-shaped lighting made of aluminum petals fixed on two chromed metal wires and declined in wall lights, hanging lights, lamps and floor lamps. These lights are even more original as they feature a silver-capped bulb to create excellent reflected light.

Janine Abraham Dirk-Jan Rol: modernity serving tradition

The AR1 is a never-before-seen light fixture designed in 1964 by the renowned architectural couple Janine Abraham Dirk-Jan Rol. Published for the first time, this floor lamp made of wood, stainless steel and Plexiglas is a piece of great modernism. Assembled halfway through the wood, with custom screws, meticulous finishes and height adjustment, the AR1 ensures unique lighting.

A year later, the AR65 is edited. A stunning rattan lamp combining rusticity and Asian exoticism.

Etienne Fermigier: nonconformist and futuristic lighting fixtures

First published in 1970 by Monix, the F170 lamp, is now reissued by Disderot. Anticonformist and futuristic, the F170 model is extremely modern due to the materials used such as aluminum and Plexiglas. Its soft and symmetrical lines wonderfully complement the shiny or translucent effects of synthetic materials.

René-Jean Caillette: the colored luminaires

Lamp, wall lamp, suspension, Rene-Jean Caillette offers a model of light fixture declined in several finishes to adapt to a vintage or more contemporary interior. The B4 floor lamp, presented in two sizes, makes an excellent end of the sofa but also an ideal light source for your reading.

As a wall lamp, the B3 model avoids light dispersion thanks to its projector shape. With a possible downward orientation for reading or upward to use the ceiling as a reflector, this model combines practicality and aesthetics.

Finally, as a pendant, the model B5 will bring modernity and elegance to your interior thanks to its new range of colors.
