Serge Mouille (1922-1988) is an artist recognized for his significant contributions to the field of lighting design. A graduate of the School of Applied Arts in Paris, Mouille received a master silversmith diploma and worked in the studio of his teacher, silversmith, and sculptor Gilbert LaCroix. Later, Mouille established his metalworking studio, initially focusing on commissions for handrails, chandeliers, and wall sconces.
However, it was a fortuitous meeting in 1951 with Jacques Adnet, director of the Company of the French Arts, which proved to be a turning point in Mouille’s career. Adnet commissioned Mouille to design a large lamp for South American customers, which led to the creation of the renowned Black lighting series, including standing lamps with one and three arms. These pieces were Mouille’s first foray into lighting design, marking a transition in his career.
