The Anglepoise Type 1228 Metallic Wall Light, designed by Sir Kenneth Grange, has been recreated with three sophisticated metallic finishes, expressing a modernist, industrial feel while retaining the timeless appeal of its iconic form. A brushed anodised aluminium finish adds elegance to this decorative yet highly functional wall light, and the light itself is controlled by a switch that has been seamlessly integrated into the shade.
Originally a draughtsman in an architect’s office and briefly an exhibition designer, Sir Kenneth Grange's career took off when Kodak asked him to design their Instamatic camera. Many of his designs have become familiar items, such as his food mixers for Kenwood, razors for Wilkinson Sword, pens for Parker and British Rail’s InterCity 125.
Sir Kenneth Grange became design director at the iconic British designer lighting brand Anglepoise in 2003. His first Anglepoise lamp was the Type 3™ desk lamp, which was launched in 2003. Grange has since gone on to design the Anglepoise Type 75 and Type 1228 collections.
