Re-engineered for outdoor use, following the success of the iconic 1227 Giant Collection, the 1227 Giant Outdoor Floor Lamp is big enough to make a statement yet flexible enough to serve in smaller spaces. Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, inviting the inside out, its innovative design transforms exterior spaces into elegant alfresco environments whilst its outstanding combination of form and function make it the ideal lighting solution for a courtyard, balcony or garden space.
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.
