The lamps designed by Serge Mouille from 1953 to 1961 are now collector's items, some selling for more than $13,000. Last year, Mouille's widow, with Jocelyne Trocmé, began meticulously reproducing seven of his sculptural designs. Decorators are snatching them up from Mme. Trocmé's Lumière et Fonction, a contemporary lighting store on the Left Bank that had a long association with Mouille before his death in 1989. A standing model with one lamp is $1,050; the hanging model above with three lamps on three pivoting arms is $2,700. (Shipping is extra; the reproductions are not available in the United States.) Lumière et Fonction is at 284, boulevard Raspail; (011) 33-1-43-35-30-42.
