The artist's works and style

The life of Serge Mouille

Serge Mouille was born in Paris in 1922. From a modest background, he entered the Ecole des Arts Appliqués at the age of 13, where he obtained a diploma in goldsmithing. He worked for a time in Gabriel Lacroix's workshop, before opening his own store in 1945, selling tableware. In 1955, he was elected to the Société des artistes décorateurs.

The Steph Simon gallery opened on Boulevard Saint Germain in 1954, where Serge Mouille exhibited alongside Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé. This enabled him to receive public commissions for the manufacture of lighting fixtures, notably from the universities of Strasbourg and Aix-Marseille.

Affected by tuberculosis, he was forced to slow down his production at the end of the 50s. The designer ended his career with a collection mixing fluorescence and incadescence that was presented at the Salon des Arts ménagers.

He died in Villiers-sur-Marne in 1988.
