Serge Mouille: A French Classic by Pierre Emile Pralus (Book)

About the Item

A beautifully photographed and illustrated book on the design career of Serge Mouille (1922-1988), he was the most important French designer of light fittings of the 1950s. His reputation and preeminence have since been confirmed and today his lights have become classics of the 20th century. This book has come about through the examination of his archive and also through a series of interviews conducted before his death. The first part describes his methods and work and the second describes and catalogues the models of his lights. He is probably best know for his minimalistic designs and use of black painted metal materials. 271 pages, with text in both English and French.
