Standing just 52cm tall from top to bottom, it may be small, but Anglepoise’s new Original 1227 Mini Table Lamp packs quite a punch.
The highly flexible shade allows the light to be focused just where you need it and the stylish, pyramid-shaped base ensures perfect stability. Perfect for beside the bed or wherever space is an issue.
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.
