Reimagining an Icon: Anglepoise celebrates 90 years of the Original 1227 Desk Lamp
Anglepoise is a heritage British lighting brand known for its iconic, spring-balanced task lamps that offer precise, adjustable illumination. Designed with both function and form in mind, its lamps have become timeless symbols of innovation, creativity and enduring design.
This year, Anglepoise celebrates the 90th Anniversary of its Original 1227 Desk Lamp. Largely unchanged since its debut in the 1930s, the Original 1227 Desk Lamp remains a signature product, instantly recognisable as an Anglepoise. To mark the anniversary, Anglepoise has partnered with students from two creative universities, University of Wales Trinity St David, Swansea College of Art and The University of Portsmouth,to reimagine the lamp. Their work will be unveiled at this year’s Material Matters Fair.
