Back in 1932 George Cardardine created the first Anglepoise lamp by inventing a new kind of spring; he discovered that they can support pivoting arms. But it wasn’t until 1935 until a 3 spring Anglepoise was created - the now iconic Original 1227.

Original 1227 Desk Lamp
{gallery blog-gallery-xf7ypokq}Known as the first Anglepoise lamp, the Original 1227 was designed back in 1932 by George Cardardine however that design looked slightly different to the version on sale today. It wasn’t until around 1938 where certain design elements were added which we recognise today such as: removal of small shade vents which appeared on older models and the introduction of the two-step base which is consistent with all Original 1227 lamps today. Because the design hasn’t changed a huge amount since the early 1900s it has an instantly recognisable profile and an extremely functional design making the Original 1227 one of the world’s most well-loved desk lamps.
The modern version of this desk lamp is available with 3 base options, choose between a weighted base, desk insert or a desk clamp. Available in a monochromatic palette, its industrial style makes it a versatile choice or any interior.
