Details such as the finely crafted brass components – which include a stunning block machined out of solid brass - and fabric-covered cables create a luxurious aesthetic, while the engraved bespoke adjuster wheels make it easy to move about, despite its oversized proportions.
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.
