The Original 1227 collection by Anglepoise is a British design icon, originally created by George Carwardine in the 1930s. This collection introduced the revolutionary tension spring mechanism, enabling full flexibility and precise positioning while maintaining stability. The term "Anglepoise" reflects its ability to hold its position at any angle.
Starting with the Original 1227 Desk Lamp, this range has become a symbol of British ingenuity and culture. Famously used by author Roald Dahl, the collection has inspired larger iterations, including the Giant Anglepoise, displayed at the Roald Dahl Museum.
The collection offers a versatile range of lighting solutions, including desk, wall, pendant, and floor lamps, all with the recognisable 1227 silhouette. Available in a variety of finishes, including classic and contemporary colourways, the Original 1227 family seamlessly blends timeless design with practical functionality.
