Anglepoise is a quintessentially British brand. Designed by automotive engineer George Carwardine in 1932 and brought into the 21st century by modernist legend Sir Kenneth Grange, the Anglepoise is the authentic and original task lamp. After its initial industrial applications in factories and workshops, it quickly became the definitive lamp of the home and the creative world. Illuminating everyone from Paul Smith to Picasso, James Bond 007 to Her Majesty the Queen, Anglepoise is an enduring, universal design icon.
