Spec Sheet

Description

Free and clear. Anglepoise's Type 75 Wall Mounted Lamp is a minimalist's dream, eliminating desktop clutter or any need for a table surface. Noted British industrial designer Sir Kenneth Grange once called the Type 75 a "minor miracle of balance," so it was serendipity when he was recently tapped to create an update. (His vaunted 50-year career also includes the Kodak Instamatic, England's Intercity 125 high-speed train and the redesigned London taxi.) The wall version of the Type 75 is a self-effacing addition to any space, steadily focusing light exactly where it is desired.

Anglepoise

Here’s the unlikely tale of how an iconic British design literally "sprung" from an amateur inventor’s workshop. More than 70 years ago, automotive engineer George Carwardine, tinkering with constant-tension metal springs developed by the French firm Terry’s, found they could be moved in any direction but then “stayed put.” He didn’t find an application for cars but envisioned a task lamp based on the mechanics of the human arm. Notably, he added a shade to focus the light which meant that it used less electricity than usual at the time.

With patent in hand in 1934, George debuted the first Anglepoise at the British Industries Fair. Since then, his original model 1227 and succeeding variations have proved timeless to generations of students, artists and professionals. Anglepoise lamps were produced for World War II bombers, celebrated in a Royal Mail stamp and have inspired tributes from musicians, artists and writers. With new energy-saving strides, the Anglepoise remains true to its defining minimalist design and efficiency.
