Inspired by the 20th-century modernist interior of The Homewood, an iconic house designed by architect Patrick Gwynne that was gifted to the National Trust in 1999, the Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Lamp embodies an organic aesthetic that supports the restoration projects undertaken at the property.
Boasting a stylish and practical design that adapts to an extensive range of interiors, its contemporary profile adds style and character to your space, igniting conversation whilst innovatively illuminating your home.
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.
