Here’s a sneak preview of the new, extended colour palette for the Anglepoise® Giant1227™ floor lamp, which British task lamp specialist, Anglepoise® will launch at Maison&Objet later this month.

With ten standard colours now available, the Anglepoise® Giant1227™ lamp can set the scene for three contrasting interior styles: Classic, Tranquil and Vivid. Custom colours and flocked finish can be specified for an additional charge, further extending the versatility of this larger-than-life triple-scale version of the iconic Anglepoise® Original1227™ lamp, designed by George Carwardine in 1934.

Now with an enhanced colour palette and reduced fixed price for custom finish, the Anglepoise® Giant1227™ floor lamp can be used to make a strong visual statement in a wide range of interior spaces.

About Anglepoise®
Anglepoise® was the ingenious result of a collaboration between automotive engineer, George Carwardine and spring specialists, Herbert Terry & Sons. 80 years on, Terry’s archetypal Anglepoise® Original1227™ lamp, based on Carwardine’s pioneering perfect balance mechanism, is recognised as a British design classic. Over the years, the Anglepoise® brand has been developed by the Terry family – more recently in collaboration with preeminent British product designer, Sir Kenneth Grange – to create an incomparable series of instantly recognisable, highly functional, energy-efficient table, floor, wall & ceiling lamps. All the new designs remain true to Carwardine’s original design concept, whilst incorporating essential modern features, such as energy saving bulbs.

Anglepoise will be showcasing their new lighting range at Designjunction between the 19th and the 23rd of September. Called Anglepoise Duo®, the range covers table, wall, floor and pendant lamps.

Available in a range of styles, colours and finishes, each lamp is further enhanced by a selection of cotton based braided cables. By creating a wide range of choices, the new Anglepoise Duo™ range gives both consumers and interior designers alike the opportunity to complement a wide variety of design schemes.

Inspired by the original 1934 George Carwardine design and in celebration of the 80th Anniversary of Anglepoise, the new Duo range has been developed for a wide range of uses in retail spaces, bars, restaurants, hotels and private homes. Some of the lamps use the original Anglepoise arm and spring mechanism, whilst others are fixed with adjustable shades.

Designjunction now incorporates Tramshed, and will feature more than 100 world-class international brands set against the industrial surrounds of a 1960’s Mail Sorting Office. Moving away from the traditional trade show environment, Designjunction will offer visitors a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere to engage and connect with design. In keeping with this theme Anglepoise have teamed up with Ercol, made famous for beautiful hand crafted wood furniture, to help present the new range in an informal way.

Anglepoise Ltd, A10 Railway Triangle, Walton Road, Farlington, Hants, PO6 1TN, UK

We have been working hard for the last couple of weeks to come up with a product that really has to be seen to be believed. Spanning 4.5 metres across, and weighing over 300 KG, this really is a piece that makes a visual impact. It has also challenged our abilities in the art of structural engineering to deal with the huge forces involved. It will be shown for  the first time at Quibique, a new designer show in Germany next week ….. press release follows ……

An extraordinary Giant Chandelier for Qubique, Berlin

Qubique, the ‘next generation trade show’ makes its debut at Berlin Tempelhof Airport and runs from the 26^th to 29^th October 2011. The exhibition promises an eclectic yet exclusive mix of high-class brands. A focal point is the Giant 1227 Chandelier by British lighting company Anglepoise. The prototype chandelier is an evolution of the Giant 1227 floor standing lamp. This was originally commissioned for the Roald Dahl Museum in the UK and is now shipped all over the world. Roald Dahl is famed for his wild and imaginative children’s stories that, in recent times, have been turned into blockbuster movies such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
For Qubique and following the spirit of this lively British author, the Anglepoise design team have produced a monster of a lighting creation. The chandelier, which is 4.5 metres in diameter, consists of eight Giant 1227 lamps.  The jointed and movable arms will undoubtedly draw arachnid comparisons, fitting of Dahl’s stories.

Simon Terry, Innovation Director of Anglepoise Ltd said: “The Giant 1227 Chandelier is designed to create a wow factor for Templehof Airport’s unique space. We have pushed the technical boundaries of structure and balance that something of this scale demands. It has been a fun project but the best part is creating a sculptural piece that makes people smile when they see it.”

The Anglepoise lamp, one of the world’s most iconic objects, is now available with a revolutionary new high output, low energy LED light module.

Called the Anglepoise LM1, it uses three 3Watt CREE XPE LED’s. Specifically designed to provide a very high quality light output, they are mounted under a special Anglepoise soft light filter. They generate a warm white light, with none of the harshness normally associated with conventional LEDs. Additionally, the module bounces light back through the top of the shade, to produce ambient light.

This revolutionary unit also features touch sensitive dimming and light level memory. It is also designed to be the ideal weight to achieve the typical Anglepoise features of perfect balance and flowing movement.

The first lamps to be fitted with this advanced module are the Type75™LED and the bold new Type75™ Maxi LED. Both these lamps have been designed by internationally renowned Anglepoise Design Director, Kenneth Grange, CBE.

These lamps are a joy to use, especially when fitted with this new highly energy efficient light module.

Kenneth Grange CBE, internationally renowned Design Director of Anglepoise has just created a new design for one of the world’s most iconic objects, the Anglepoise lamp.

Called the Type75 Maxi LED, this lamp is both a bold new design and a marvel of modern lighting engineering. Light output is provided by the new and powerful Anglepoise® 9 Watt ‘LM1’ CREE XPE LED module, so this versatile lamp will perform superbly.

Kenneth Grange’s design of the shade shape is exquisite.

Like all other Anglepoise products, it is built to exacting Anglepoise standards. With its heavy base, aluminium arms and stainless steel fittings, Type75™ Maxi provides great reach. The shade incorporates a dimmable, touch sensitive switch and has built in light level memory, making it ideal as a floor standing reading lamp.

Available in Signal Red, Alpine White and Slate Grey, Type75™ Maxi will complement the mood and style of any room or work environment.

Richard Sellwood, Managing Director of Anglepoise commented: “We are delighted to launch the Type75 Maxi and are extremely pleased with its bold new look. Kenneth Grange, our Design Director, has delivered us a superb piece, one that delivers a number of important benefits. Type75 Maxi is highly flexible, beautiful to use and above all has a superb quality of light output.”

A new wider range of stylish shade colours have just been announced by Anglepoise.

Fitted to the Type1228™ range, the new colours are Lime Green, Carmine Red, Fuchsia Pink, Pale Lilac and Daffodil Yellow.

The polycarbonate shade is coloured on the outside and white on the inside. This produces a highly efficient working light yet, when illuminated, gives the shade a very attractive and vibrant, slightly iridescent colour effect. 

Anglepoise have looked at current and future interior trends. They have carefully selected this new range of colours to give designers greater choice when specifying lighting packages. Their aim is to compliment the modern use of subtle colour pallets, whatever the room.

Available as a desk lamp, floor standing lamp or wall light, Type1228™ has an added feature; it can be rotated vertically, making it ideal for applications where an uplighter is required.

With the expansion of the Type1228™ colour range, interior designers, specifiers and home owners alike now all have greater opportunities to coordinate feature lighting within the environments they are creating.

One of the world’s most iconic objects, the Anglepoise lamp, is now available in a reduced size.
Anglepoise has been working closely with their internationally renowned Design Director, Kenneth Grange, CBE, to create this new, smaller scale lamp.

Two versions are available. The first version is fitted with the new Anglepoise LED LM2 module. This revolutionary high light output module features touch sensitive dimming, light level memory and is a highly energy-efficient light source. The second version takes an E14 small Edison screw bulb.

The name Anglepoise has, for over 70 years, been widely recognised as being synonymous with high quality, practical lamps. This tradition continues with the Type75™ Mini which is available in a fun range of seven exciting and vibrant colours. With a heavy base, stainless steel fittings and a mechanism that responds to the lightest touch, this small lamp has perfect balance and flowing movement. It is a joy to use, with all the functionality of larger models in the range.
The safety of 12 volts and low operating temperature provided by the LED version, along with its compact size, make this lamp particularly suitable for children, or indeed anywhere where space is at a premium.

Simon Terry, Innovation Director of Anglepoise Ltd said: “The new Type75™Mini is just one of a range of exciting new products which we will be launching over the next 18 months. During the development of this lamp Kenneth Grange, our design director, was keen that we achieved a design which contained all the recognisable Anglepoise values, yet was in a scale and range of colours which were suited to modern living.”

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Anglepoise TypeC™ task light in Milan this April. It is the first in a new generation of products that fuse our innovative system of balance with the latest LED technology. It is a strikingly seductive design that blends a range of high quality materials including glass, anodized aluminum and stainless steel.

The light has been designed by Kenneth Grange, our Design Director, in the year that he is celebrated in a five-decade retrospective exhibition at the London Design Museum entitled ‘Kenneth Grange: Making Britain Modern’. Primarily engineered as a task light for the specification market, the product features touch sensitive dimming and light level memory.

A significant part of the design consideration was to build sustainability into the product. This has been achieved by providing an interchangeable head and driver unit so they can be upgraded or replaced at any time. Anglepoise has followed this philosophy for the last 75 years, which is why so many of our products are still functioning today.

Simon Terry, Director of Anglepoise Ltd said: “After 75 years of Anglepoise tradition, and 150 years of manufacturing we have always felt that it was important as a family business to rejuvenate the ideas that made us innovators in the first place whilst engaging with the latest technologies. The new TypeC is at the heart of that journey ”
