Why is it Special?

Anglelpoise has been making classic lamps in England since the 1930s. They may look familiar to you, perhaps because they star in manyJames Bond films (including the newSpectre), and the Queen of England has one on her desk. Also Picasso owned one. So did the lead character in Salman Rushdie’s novelMidnights Children. And they are featured on a UK stamp. It’s like owning a piece of design history!

Having previously identified the Anglepoise as his favourite design and a minor miracle of balance, Sir Kenneth Grange, responsible for some of Britains most iconic and successful designs, including the Kenwood Mixer, the Kodak Instamatic, the Intercity 125 train and the updated London taxi, becomes Design Director of Anglepoise.

Characterizedby a pioneering perfect balance mechanism (they stay put with everyadjustment) and an engaging kinetic form. The iconic, quintessentially British brand Anglepoise produces an incomparable series of practical, energy-efficient task lamps, ideally suited for both domestic and commercial interiors.

Compatible with both LED and energy-saving bulbs.
