He used this silver caped bulb, which was new at the time, and produced very high-quality reflected lighting.Olivier Mourgue« I was born in 1939 in Paris. I graduated from the Ecole Boulle in 1958, this remarkable teaching taught me to draw and develop a great manual dexterity… This Ecole Boulle should be multiplied in all major provincial cities. After Boulle, as part of my studies at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts décoratifs, rue d’Ulm, I presented in a competition a chair that I had designed life size. On the advice of Marcel Merpillat, one of my teachers at the Ecole Boulle, I presented it at the Societe Airborne to Charles Bernard, its founder, and his two sons, Daniel and Philippe. This chair was developed in several versions under the name « Joker », the first model published in 1959… »After studying engineering, Pierre Disderot opened his first studio in 1948. His collaboration with the young avant-garde designers, Pierre Guariche, JosephAndré Motte, Alain Richard, and Michel Mortier, led him to create what is today considered to be the best lighting of the nineteen fifties. His aesthetic abilities and knowledge allowed him to design an important part of the Disderot catalog, revealing, beyond the publisher, an artist of the first-order.
