From the mind of engineer George Carwardine came the beauty of Anglepoise. By discovering a formula for a new kind of spring, Carwardine created a lamp that pairs flexibility with stability and style. The Anglepoise Original 1227 can be tilted and twisted to cast light at exactly the right angle. What began as a table lamp has taken on new forms over the years. The 1227 is now available as a wall, ceiling, and giant freestanding light, designed for homes of all shapes and sizes.
