Jean-Louis Domecq

Designed in 1950 by a French machinist named Jean-Louis Domecq, the Jieldé lamp — long considered a classic — is getting an update. Last year, the company introduced a smaller, desk-friendly version of the multijointed metal lamp, which is still assembled by hand. And in September, all the Jieldé lamps — both small and standard-size — will be available in three new eye-popping colors: fluorescent pink, red and orange. (Jieldé lamps sell for $250 to $1,100; the Loft series fixtures shown at left are $902 each.) Those who can’t wait until September can order now, by sending an e-mail to jielde@notonqueen.com. A list of retailers who will carry the lamps in the fall is at notonqueen.com. MILENA DAMJANOV
