i’ve got a real sweet spot for these types of lighting fixtures — ones with spider-like, far reaching arms. arachnophobia? nope, not me – not when it comes to minimalist black pendant lamps like french designer serge mouille’s famous lighting fixtures. his designs have been around since the 1950’s and his imitators keep on reinventing modified versions on the original design, but i don’t mind their clever takes on the iconic classic one bit. however, since the real serge mouille beauties have been around since the 50’s and still going strong, i’d say should you choose to splurge on something special, serge would be the one i’d open my wallet up nice and wide for.

I love the black gooseneck floor lamp! The pair of black bedside sconces are really cool too. Very rustic. -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
Just checked your blog it is very cool! For the lamps, please take a look at the real Serge Mouille lamps on http://www.SergeMouilleUSA.com….it is very different to see the original design than these copies……Best!
oh man, these are some of the most beautiful lights. very functional for large spaces too and add such an interesting design element (instead of a boring, plain light).
Hi,Stacy
If you do like the serge mouille lighting, you can get a great copy here: http://www.zoralighting.com/serge-mouille
Love that wacky bendy goose neck lamp!
Thanks so much for the mention:))) I don’t think I’ll ever tire of all things SM and I love that first fixture from Park Studio…I just used it in a client’s home and it’s fabulous.
And I don’t think I’ll ever tire of that room of yours! :)
