Jieldé, the most rigid working lamp in the world.

1950: Tired of searching for a reliable and practical lamp to equip the machines in his workshop, Jean-Louis Domecq decides to design and construct his own lamp. A lamp that should perform well under heavy duty circumstances.

1953: There is demand for a lamp that meets high industrial requirements and the Jieldé firm is established. The company name is derived from the initials of the designer, JLD.

1955: In the first brochure Jieldé reveals details of his remarkable joint construction. The electricity is transported through the joints by an ingenious mechanism which eliminates the necessity of wires. In the first half of the previous century many accidents occured due to breaking wiring, caused by the absence of durable synthetic insulation materials.

1961: the indestructible "Standard", as the costumers have begun to call it, leaves the Jieldé workshop to equip more and more design department tables.

1987: The Loft Collection is created. By raising the look and feel of the original lamp to meet the standards of demanding modern consumers this new design line allows everyone to enjoy the industry inspired Jieldé lighting objects in their home and work environments.

2001: The Jieldé company is expanding to countries all over the world. Representatives in Europe and Japan have recently been joined by Inside Modern Living, distributor for Canada and the U.S.

2006: We are pleased to introduce the new Signal Collection, a smaller, more colourful version, perfect for the home environment.
