When automotive engineer, George Carwardine chanced upon a formula for a new kind of spring, he had created the blueprint for a ground-breaking articulated task lamp that could combine ultimate flexibility with perfect stability. Two years later, the Original 1227™ desk lamp was born. Launched in 1935 and generally considered the archetypal Anglepoise, the Original 1227™ pioneered our unique constant spring technology to deliver ultimate flexibility and perfect balance. Today this timeless, classic design enjoys iconic design status.
