About the Item

French Mid-Century Pair of Wall Lights by Dallux, Paris, France, Early 1960s. This striking pair of wall lights, designed and manufactured by Dallux in Paris during the early 1960s, is often attributed to the renowned French designer Serge Mouille. Each wall light features a thick, U-shaped Saint-Gobain glass shade, secured to a metal plate with two nickel-plated brass screws. The design showcases a perfect blend of mid-century modern elegance and industrial charm, with the thick glass adding a sculptural quality to the piece. Dimensions (each): Height: 14.6" (37 cm), Width: 4.13" (10.5 cm), Depth: 3.54" (9 cm). Glass thickness: 0.55" (1.4 cm). These wall lights will be delivered wired for your country (US, EU, China, Australia, etc.), and are compatible with LED bulbs for modern, energy-efficient lighting. A remarkable pair of wall lights that combines high-quality craftsmanship and timeless design, ideal for both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. The History of Dallux Lighting Factory, France Dallux was a prominent French lighting manufacturer, known for its distinctive designs that blended elegance and technical innovation. Operating primarily in the mid-20th century, Dallux became a key player in the post-war period of modern lighting design, contributing to the development of unique and high-quality lighting pieces that are still sought after by collectors today. Early Years and Development (1940s - 1950s): Dallux was founded in the mid-20th century, during a time when France was emerging from the hardships of World War II. In the post-war era, there was a growing demand for modern, functional, and stylish interior lighting, and Dallux quickly rose to prominence by fulfilling this need. The company’s early years saw them producing elegant and functional fixtures that catered to the rising middle-class market. Dallux's attention to quality craftsmanship and sleek, minimalist designs set the brand apart. Collaboration with Renowned Designers (1950s - 1960s): Dallux gained further recognition in the 1950s and 1960s for its collaborations with renowned French designers, including Serge Mouille. This partnership led to the creation of iconic lighting fixtures, such as the famous wall and ceiling lights that combined technical sophistication with beautiful aesthetics. These collaborations helped establish Dallux as a leader in the French lighting industry, admired for its elegant, industrial-style designs and use of high-quality materials. Innovation in Materials and Techniques (1960s - 1970s): In the 1960s, Dallux became known for using innovative materials and techniques in its lighting fixtures. The company experimented with various types of glass, metals, and plastics, creating unique designs that reflected the evolving tastes of mid-century modern design. One of the key features of Dallux’s lighting was its use of thick glass, which was often produced by Saint-Gobain, a French manufacturer known for its high-quality glass products. This glass was molded and shaped in a way that allowed light to interact beautifully with the surrounding space, casting soft, ambient glows and dramatic lighting effects. Decline and Legacy (1980s - Present): As the design industry shifted in the 1980s and 1990s, Dallux, like many mid-century manufacturers, found it increasingly difficult to compete with mass-produced lighting. The brand's traditional, artisanal approach to lighting design fell out of favor with the rise of cheaper, mass-produced alternatives. Despite this, Dallux’s legacy lives on through its iconic pieces, which continue to be highly collectible. Today, Dallux’s creations from the 1950s and 1960s are cherished by collectors and interior designers alike. The company’s pieces—especially those designed in collaboration with Serge Mouille—are regarded as some of the finest examples of mid-century French lighting. Dallux remains synonymous with timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and a significant contribution to the history of modern lighting.
