The AR1 is a floor lamp designed by Janine Abraham and Dirk-Jan Rol, reissued by Disderot from the original French publisher's specifications.
The design is built around a formal contrast that recurs throughout the Abraham & Rol work for Disderot: warm dark walnut against cool polished chrome. A rectangular shade crafted from dark brown walnut uses exposed dovetail joinery as both construction method and surface detail. The slender chrome pole supporting the shade is adjustable, and it meets the base at a pyramidal wooden plinth. Clean lines, close tolerances, no ornament beyond what construction requires.
The shade is solid walnut with dovetail joinery. The pole is polished chrome. The base is a pyramidal walnut plinth. Disderot produces the AR1 as a numbered reissue, each piece accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Abraham and Rol designed the AR series for Disderot during the postwar decades, treating the floor lamp as a piece of furniture in its own right. The series also includes the AR70 table lamp, available separately in the Disderot collection on Monde Singulier.

About
Disderot
Disderot is a French lighting publisher focused on reviving lamps conceived during the postwar decades of French modernism, from the 1950s through the 1970s. The house works from the archive of the Ateliers Pierre Disderot, a lighting publisher that collaborated with architects and independent designers throughout that era.
The approach is archival rather than interpretive. Each reissue follows the original specifications, manufactured in France with the same materials: aluminium bases, opaline glass lampshades, and the same attention to surface and finish. Every model carries a number and a certificate of authenticity, a distinction that matters in a category where undocumented reproductions circulate alongside certified editions.
The catalog spans several designers from the original Ateliers archive. Olivier Mourgue's 2093 series is reissued in wall, floor, table and pendant versions. Works by Janine Abraham and Dirk-Jan Rol are also part of the range. The Michel Mortier 10497 table lamp and 10527 floor lamp, designed in 1972 and originally published by Verre Lumière, are available on Monde Singulier in an exclusive gradient colorway: three finishes in Beige, Green and Blue applied to the aluminium and opaline glass form.
Disderot lighting is available on Monde Singulier, selected for the integrity of its numbered editions and the continuity of its French manufacturing.
