The AR70 is an integrated table lamp designed by Janine Abraham and Dirk-Jan Rol, reissued by Disderot from the original French publisher's specifications.
The design merges furniture and lighting in a single object. A square cantilevered platform in walnut, jointed with visible dovetail detailing, serves as the lamp's body. The light source is set into the top surface, recessed behind a white panel with a central metal disc. The supporting column is T-shaped, combining sections of walnut and brushed champagne metal held together with precision metal fasteners. The piece reads differently from every angle: part lamp, part furniture, entirely resolved.
All metal components are in brushed champagne finish. The platform is solid walnut with exposed dovetail joinery. Disderot produces the AR70 as a numbered reissue, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Abraham and Rol, a Franco-Dutch design duo active during the postwar decades, produced a series of pieces for Disderot that treated lighting as a structural rather than decorative element. The AR series also includes the AR1 floor lamp, available separately in the Disderot collection.

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.
