The life of Serge Mouille

Serge Mouille was born in Paris in 1922. From a modest background, he entered the École des Arts Appliqués at the age of 13, where he obtained a diploma in silversmithing. 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.

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

Suffering from tuberculosis, he was forced to slow down production in the late 50s. The designer ended his career with a collection combining fluorescence and incandescence, presented at the Salon des Arts ménagers.

He died in Villiers-sur-Marne in 1988.
