"I started out with the idea of making lights that are on a human scale. It should be possible to walk about amid these lights as if in a forest. As if they are poles and monoliths."
—Serge MouilleThe present model—called the Grand Totem—was first presented at the 1962 Salon des Arts Ménagers. Mouille used excess pieces of painted aluminum tubing from his earlier Tuyau wall lights to incrementally hide the fluorescent light tube. Oftentimes Mouille also paired this form with a red fluorescent light. Mouille only produced several hundred examples of the present model, which is the larger of Mouille’s Totems, measuring approximately 66 inches tall while his Petit model stands at only approximately forty-three inches high.
