One of Serge Mouille's most adaptable designs, reimagined with modern precision. The long, slender arm reaches light exactly where you want it, while the shade turns on its own for even more control. You can choose from one-arm and two-arm versions across five sizes, so the sconce settles naturally into a hallway, a reading nook, or a wall that needs a sculptural moment.
Mouille drew his insect-like fixtures in the 1950s as a deliberate answer to the heavier, bulkier Italian lighting of the day. He wanted modern pieces with delicate lines and real presence, and that intent still reads clearly in every angle of this sconce.
Features
-
Independent shade rotation — the shade pivots separately from the arm, so you can aim light at any corner of the room with precision.
-
Long-reach arm — a 47" or 55" arm carries light well away from the wall, covering a generous spread.
-
1950s design legacy — refined mid-century lines that still feel current decades on.

Frequently asked questions
Can the shade angle be adjusted?
Yes. The shade rotates independently of the arm, so you can fine-tune the direction of light beyond what the arm position alone gives you.
What configurations are available?
Five options: one-arm in 60 cm (L23.6"), 80 cm (L31.5"), and 120 cm (L47.2"); two-arm in 120 cm (L47.2") and 140 cm (L55").
What is the story behind the design?

An E26 or E27 base, compatible with LED or Edison-style bulbs. An Edison filament bulb suits the mid-century look. Bulb not included.
