With its distinctive shade, traditional stepped base, chrome fittings and etched logo plaque, the Anglepoise Original 1227 Mini Desk Lamp is a design marvel with a large array of unique features.
Not to mention its unique spring mechanism that delivers ultimate flexibility and perfect balance, it is clear that this high-performing little lamp is every inch an Anglepoise.
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.
