About the Item

Instantly recognisable! Incredibly functional and steeped in heritage, the Anglepoise lamp has been in British homes for over 85 years. This truly iconic and legendary lamp is one of the most celebrated designs in British history. The Anglepoise lamp we know and love was borne out of designer George Carwardine’s engineering career. By chance, he happened upon a type of spring with the potential to work with more than just machines. The spring was simple and unique because it could move in every direction whilst remaining taut. Soon after his discovery, Carwardine struck up a fruitful relationship with world renowned spring manufacturers Herbert Terry & Sons. Together, Terry’s constant tension spring and Carwardine’s eye for engineering was a winning combination. Within a few years they had developed an articulated task lamp with perfect balance that could move light in all directions. Despite being such an icon today, Anglepoise wasn’t their first choice of name. The original name choice was ‘Equipoise’ which was rejected by the patent office. So, after a quick name change the Anglepoise lamp was launched in 1933.
