Lampe Gras 205: A distinctive design for the table

The Lampe Gras 205 table lamp is part of a series of lights whose history dates back to 1922. It was then that Bernard-Albin Gras developed the first designs for lights, which were originally intended for offices and industrial applications. The simple, robust yet ergonomic design made the series of lights something special. The basic construction required no screws or welded joints.

A defining feature of Lampe Gras lights is the thoughtful design of every single detail. The arms, body, fittings and the arrangement of the components form a functional unit with a clear and distinctive design language that was far ahead of its time.

Le Corbusier, too, was an early admirer of the modern design of the Lampe Gras lights and incorporated them into his projects. The combination of functionality and aesthetics continues to define the series to this day.

The lights in the Lampe Gras series by DCW are highly sought-after design classics and collectors’ items worldwide. They enjoy particular popularity in France, the USA and Japan. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has proved timeless and lends the Lampe Gras 205 its unmistakable character.
