About the manufacturer
Lampe Gras by DCW editions: these classic lights from France prove once again that function and elegance need not be a contradiction. As early as 1921, the engineer Bernard-Albin Gras drew up a series of flexible worklights that were adjustable on all sides and axes, thanks to an ingenious ball joint. At that time it was designed to illuminate workplaces and desks in offices, and workshops.
The complete lack of wearing parts, such as screw connections and welded seams, has enabled an intelligent, yet simple and robust design with maximum ergonomic functionality.
Leading architects and designers have also quickly drawn attention to these puristic and practical worklights: for example, the great Le Corbusier preferred the Lampe Gras in his studios, and some of his architectural projects were equipped with them. The Bauhaus students in Germany were also enthusiastic about the lampʼs simple perfection and recognized the Lampe Gras as an ideal device for workplace lighting. Today, the luminaires are regarded as elegant icons of the classic industrial design of the 20th century – also emblazoned by the inclusion in the design collection at the Center Pompidou in Paris in 2005.
