The Original 1227 Mini Wall Mounted Light is a decorative and versatile little lamp that has an authentically shaped shade, a truly defining characteristic of a traditional Anglepoise product. The braided fabric cable and fork block with etched logo plaque owes itself to the remarkable collection, with a degree of movement and balance that Anglepoise owes credit to its constant tension spring technology. Secure wall mounting is made easy with the high-quality cast metal wall bracket supplied, ensuring application can be completed without stress or hassle.
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.
