Minimalist and functionalist Anglepoise desk lamp (WL1 or WL2 model), an iconic vintage design piece from the 1960s and 1970s. It was designed in England by automotive engineer George Carwardine and the renowned industrial designer Kenneth Grange.

Articulated design: It features a slender, adjustable aluminum metal arm, balanced to allow precise orientation of the light beam.

Robust materials: It rests on a heavy oval textured cast-iron base.

Distinctive reflector: Its lampshade or diffuser has a very modern, elongated geometric shape that is asymmetrical for its era… which reminds us of the Space Age.
