Anglepoise: The Brilliance of British Design at the Heart of Lighting History

Dive into the rich heritage of Anglepoise. Back in 1855, Herbert Terry and Sons Ltd set the foundations for a company specializing in the manufacturing of top-tier springs. However, it was the brilliant intuition of engineer George Carwardine in 1931 that transformed these springs into an innovative lighting mechanism, leading to the birth of the first-ever Anglepoise articulated lamp – a blend of table lamp, wall light, and pendant fixture. This groundbreaking invention rapidly gained recognition, cemented by a patent in 1933.

Symbol of British Design

Anglepoise represents more than just lighting. It stands as an iconic symbol of British design. Merging elegance with functionality, each lamp is crafted to deliver optimal illumination. From their timeless table lamps to their industrial wall lights, and sophisticated pendant lights: every piece from Anglepoise embodies excellence in design and performance.
