Worthy of a place in any home or office environment, the Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp features an iconic silhouette that can be recognised from afar. Bringing an effortless sense of sophistication to its surroundings, the 1227 Desk Lamp is fully adjustable with an impressive reach of 91cm, giving you the control and the manoeuvrability of the lighting your living room or workspace needs.
The English automotive engineer George Carwardine designed the "Anglepoise", a desk lamp, around 1930 and had its innovative construction patented in 1932. The shade is fastened to a long arm, which is jointed in two places. This construction not only makes the lampshade adjustable but also enables users to position the entire lamp in different ways, depending on what source of light is needed. The equilibrium of forces is achieved in all positions to which the lamp can be adjusted by springs, which function on the principle of the muscles in the human arm.
