Spec Sheet

Description

Gras N°215 combines the pivoting arm of the desk model with a rod-like stand to adjust its height. Legendary designer Bernard-Albin Gras first conceived the now-iconic lighting in 1921 with a series of lamps for offices and industrial environments that were both an early example of ergonomics and assembled simply without any extraneous screws or welded joints. As handsome as it is functional, the floor lamp comes with the choice of either a round or conic metal shade

“All of our lighting can travel from Jules Verne’s world to the Blade Runner world,” says Frédéric Winkler, who, along with cofounder Philippe Cater, debuted Paris-based DCW Éditions in 2008. Timelessness guides their mission, beginning with the re-edition of the 1921 Lampe Gras created by Bernard-Albin Gras. One of the first articulated lamps, it would find its way into the studios of Le Corbusier, Sonia Delaunay and Henri Matisse, and has been a standout ever since.

Nostalgia is not what animates Editions DCW, however, but rather a search for elusive and enduring offerings that span generations. Look no further than the introductions from current design leaders Bertrand Balas and architects Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost. Their new work share a measure of innovation and an artistic countenance that rises above the temporary vagaries of fashion. “Everyone has their own story to tell,” says Winkler of his stable of designers. “Strong characters with a deep and thick soul. That's why their lamps are interesting.”
