Pierre Disderot
The workshop of prolific designer Pierre Disderot was the birthplace of modern French lighting. The mid-century modern table lamps, floor lamps and wall lights that resulted from his collaborations with major names in design influenced lighting in the decades that followed.
Disderot was born in Paris in 1920. He studied engineering, but was drawn to design and architecture. He subsequently enrolled at L'École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs and École Boulle, where he was inspired by the Scandinavian lighting designers of the 1940s. In 1948, he established his own manufacturing company, Atelier Pierre Disderot, in the Parisian suburb of Cachan.
In the early 1950s, Disderot met Pierre Guariche and Michel Mortier, two up-and-coming French designers. Together, the three luminaries launched a series of lighting fixtures featuring an updated modern style. Disderot, who had a knack for surrounding himself with the best, also established partnerships with Jacques Dumond, Joseph-André Motte, Pierre Gautier-Delaye, Pierre Paulin, Bernard Durussel and Roger Fatus.
Postwar exuberance marked the 1950s in France. Disderot’s studio reflected this attitude, creating designs that were more organic and colorful, with articulated pivots and arms for increased functionality and style. His openness to collaboration, and his willingness to provide designers with the tools and technology they needed, spurred both technical and aesthetic innovation in lighting.
In the 1960s, the growing company relocated to a large warehouse in Choisy-le-Roi. By this time, Disderot was taking orders from architects and interior designers as well as public commissions for buildings like Orly airport. He began buying licenses for products on the cutting edge of design, such as the Rotaflex line of chic, beehive-style lighting fixtures.
After more than three successful decades, Disderot sold his company in 1984 to focus on teaching and union activities. He died in 1991.
The company he started remains in operation today under the name Disderot, which continues to release updated models of fixtures from the 1950s through the 1970s.
