Most prominent, of course, is the unique shape of the metal lamphead of most of Mouille\u2019s lamps, which is oblong and organic-looking, and topped by what can only be described as (ahem) a nipple. What this nipple allowed was for the wiring and hardware of the light bulb to be recessed inside, maximizing the reflective surface of the inside of the lamp head. Other Mouille lampheads took different forms, including snails or ovoid shapes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Noir Lamos Serge Mouille\" src=\"http:\/\/delightfull.eu\/blog\/external_data\/bulb-black-light.jpg\" alt=\"black lamps\" width=\"450\" height=\"293\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-body branded-links\">\n<p>Mouille\u2019s most famous lighting fixtures were handmade in black-lacquered aluminum lampheads on tubular steel supports, and were assembled with distinctive 6-sided screws and brass ball-and-socket joints. Mouille\u2019s intent was that the brass would oxidize to a brown-bronze patina. The arms of Mouille\u2019s lamps join elegantly to the main \u2018trunk\u2019 support, so the profile of even the largest lamps can be minimized. The legs of his floor and table black lamps branch out, clawlike, into a three-legged support that gives the pieces a sense of personality and whimsy.
