Endlessly reproduced, the timeless "Original 1227" architect lamp by Angelpoise has been an icon of British design for more than 70 years. Its typical 1930s style celebrates the industrial atmosphere. The original model was designed in 1933 by automotive engineer George Carwardine. This seasoned inventor has created a unique spring system, used to design an articulated lamp that can be adjusted whilst retaining perfect stability. The collection has simply expanded over time, now featuring several models of lamps, wall lights, floor lights, pendant lights, and so on. This range boasts retro colours straight from the 1950s and connections made with chromed steel or gilded brass. All Anglepoise lamps come with a lifetime guarantee: it’s a guarantee of durability, strength and high quality. Anglepoise promises repairs or, if repairs aren't possible, to replace your lamp whilst also recycling your old lamp. This special edition is the outcome of a collaboration between Anglepoise and the National Trust. This non-profit British charity was founded with the aim of protecting and showcasing monuments and sites of public interest. The funds raised finance conservation work for the Trust's various hidden gems, tucked away in the British landscapes, such as The Homewood, a modernist villa in Surrey which provided a source of inspiration for the very first Anglepoise X National Trust collaboration.
The original 1227 table lamp in the green edition is a sleek, versatile piece that works well in both contemporary and classic interiors. I love its timeless design and functional form, making it ideal for a workspace or bedside table. It pairs beautifully with minimalist décor or industrial-inspired schemes, where its subtle colour and adjustable arm can add a touch of colour and practicality. For styling tips, try placing it on a wood or marble surface to highlight its retro charm while keeping the colour as a standout feature. It's perfect for task lighting, but also works equally well when used as a statement piece in a reading nook or on a desk. Its iconic shape lends a refined, functional aesthetic that seamlessly blends style and utility.
