Presentation of Jieldé: a manufacturer of MADE IN FRANCE lighting

JIELDÉ lamps are always made to order, by hand, with the original tools, in the workshops of Saint Priest, in the suburbs of Lyon, France.


ITS RIVET PLATE

The Jieldé lamp has a riveted plaque bearing its name and on the occasion of jieldé's sixtieth birthday in 2010, Philippe Bélier took the opportunity to number each one, with its date of manufacture, to create a unique piece.

HIS WIDE CHOICE OF COLOR

Jieldé lamps now have around thirty colors and several finishes, including the most classic finishes: Matt and Gloss.
But it is also possible to add a Polished and Painted finish (with a glossy finish only).

ITS CIRCULAR CONTACT SYSTEM ON THE LOFT COLLECTION

The only lamp on the joints by circular contacts: the wires have disappeared, they are replaced by wavy chrysocal contacts which circulate the current within the joints.

HISTORY OF THE BRAND

A stable and robust lamp that resists machine vibrations and multiple projections from machine tools.
But the main innovation of this unusual lamp lies in its electrical operation: the wires have disappeared, they are replaced by wavy chrysocal contacts which circulate the current through the joints.

The lamp with its zigzag silhouette, revolutionary inside, very quickly met with great success, it illuminates many workshops, hospitals and laboratories.
On the strength of this fine invention, Jean-Louis Domecq spent the years 1951 and 1952 industrializing production.

It was in 1953 that the definitive model made its appearance called STANDARD lamp which later became LOFT. In the same year, he created a company dedicated to the marketing of his lamp and whose initials of his name would form: J L D (JI EL DÉ). Jean-Louis Domecq presents his STANDARD lamp at the Lyon Fair then at the Paris Fair where it caused a sensation.

It was the 1980s that the Jieldé lamp was introduced to individuals. Jean-Louis Domecq died in 1983, he hardly knew this evolution.
It is his daughter, Marie-Françoise Domecq who will continue the development of the lamp in the world of decoration and accompany it towards its status as an icon.
She hired Phillippe Bélier in 1997 as deputy general manager of Jieldé. Marie-Françoise Domecq has absolute confidence in her deputy director to get Jieldé afloat. He also has the idea that will change everything: The color!
Close to retirement and having lost his mother, Maris-François Domecq left the reins of the company, in 2002, to its deputy director, Philippe Bélier, its current CEO.


Since then, JIELDÉ lamps have never ceased to be produced and will evolve in small steps according to standards.
