Bring the pop and futuristic poetry of the 1960s into your home with this extremely rare "Double Fleur" floor lamp by Olivier Mourgue, produced by Disderot. A true luminous sculpture emblematic of the Space Age period, this exceptional piece consists of two adjustable reflectors in white lacquered metal, imitating stylized flower corollas, mounted on an elegant chromed steel structure. A masterpiece of French design, as sculptural when off as it is captivating when lit.

Design & Pop-Organic Aesthetic

Olivier Mourgue signs here a major work that softens the strict lines of modernist design with biomorphic forms inspired by nature.

Corolla Reflectors: Each reflector is cut in the shape of a five-petal flower from white lacquered steel sheet. Ingenious elements, these "flowers" are not fixed: they slide and pivot along the two chromed steel rods, allowing you to adjust the height and orientation of the lighting according to your needs.

The Indirect Lighting Play: Designed to work with chrome-capped bulbs, the floor lamp projects light onto the back of the lacquered corolla. The luminous flux is thus redistributed in a soft, warm, and diffused manner, without ever dazzling.

A Unique Architectural Base: The two parallel rods are anchored in a semi-circular base cleverly combining a steel plate and a heavy transparent Plexiglas base (or metal depending on the finishes), a typical technical signature of high-end productions from Disderot.

Features

Collector's Rarity: While wall lamps or table lamps from the Fleur series are sometimes seen, the double-headed floor lamp version (Double Fleur) remains particularly rare and sought after by international collectors.

Disderot Signature: The publisher Pierre Disderot is synonymous with excellence in 20th-century French lighting (alongside Serge Mouille or Michel Boyer), guaranteeing lasting heritage value.

Theatrical Shadow Play: Lit near a room corner, this floor lamp projects the enlarged and poetic silhouette of its petals onto the wall, acting as a unique ambiance creator.

💡 Gallery Styling Tip

"This floor lamp has an incredible ethereal visual presence. To maximize its magical effect, place it in a room corner with white or very light gray walls. Direct one of the flowers towards the wall to create an indirect ambient halo and the other towards a piece of furniture to enhance. The projected petal-shaped shadows will instantly transform your wall into a kinetic work of art."
