Serge Mouille Formes Noires Tripod Desk Lamp

Serge Mouille's Tripod desk lamp condenses his sculptural Formes Noires language into a compact table piece first designed in 1954. The three legged steel base anchors a slender stem and shell like aluminium shade, joined by a brass ball joint that allows the head to tilt, swivel and be precisely aimed. The result is a lamp that feels both delicate and purposeful, its insect like stance and graphic outline immediately recognisable within the wider Formes Noires family of black metal luminaires.

Manufactured in France by Editions Serge Mouille, the Formes Noires Tripod desk lamp is finished in black lacquer with a glossy white interior to maximise reflection and create a clean, focused pool of light on the surface below. It is ideal for desks, side tables and bedside settings where you want directional yet comfortable illumination, and it sits comfortably in both mid century and contemporary interiors. Each piece is numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, and the fitting accepts an E14 LED bulb so the light output can be tailored to suit reading, working or softer evening ambience.
