Price History
Description
In 1921 Bernard-Albin GRAS designed a series of lamps for use in offices and in industrial environments. The «GRAS» lamp, as it was subsequently called, was astounding in its simple, robust and yet very ergonomic design. There are neither screws nor welded joints in the basic form. In 1927 the RAVEL company purchased the patent and started production of the «GRAS» lamps. Bernard-Albin GRAS was one of the most innovative designer of the 20th century. The functional esthetic of his lamps and especially the design of details such as those of the arms, stems, brackets and bases were truly original and far ahead of his time. Early on Le Corbusier was seduced by the modern design and user-friendliness of the lamps and became one of Bernard-Albin GRAS's most enthusiastic supporters using the lamps in his own offices as well as employing them in numerous architectural projects all over the world. Others such as Robert Mallet-Stevens, Emile Jacques Ruhlmann and Eileen Gray followed this trend as well. Furthermore, such well-know artists as Sonia Delaunay and Georges Braque also used these lamps in their studios. For the first time in history, a lamp was equally popular in professional as well as in residential applications. Today, the «GRAS» lamp has become sought after a collector's item all over the world, most notably in France, in the United States and in Japan. Bernard-Albin Gras's talented and visionary design has proven to be timeless.
Our Stylist Says
The N°201 Architect lamp is a versatile piece that works beautifully in both contemporary and industrial-inspired interiors. Its clamp base makes it perfect for adding task lighting to desks, workspaces, or bedside tables without taking up surface space. I love how the black and metal finish lends a sleek, minimal look that pairs easily with various colour palettes and materials. For styling tips, try positioning it on a cluttered desk to introduce an organised, professional vibe, or use it above a reading nook for a touch of functional style. Its adjustable arm makes it practical for focused lighting, making it an effortless addition to any functional modern space.
