In recent years, Anglepoise lighting has seen a renaissance with new technologies and new designers - such as Kenneth Grange, creator of the new London cab, who has updated and expanded the range. In 2009 Anglepoise celebrated 75 years by reissuing the original 1227 Lamp.
The iconic design was placed on a Royal Mail Stamp celebrating British Design classics, including the Mini, the Concorde, the Routemaster bus & the Spitfire.
