Lampe Gras 214 wall light, round, black/copper – DCW

Iconic Lampe Gras 214 wall light in the characteristic round design

The Lampe Gras 214 wall light combines the unmistakable design language of this French design classic with a striking combination of materials. The round lampshade and the clearly defined construction lend the model a timeless yet expressive appearance.

The origins of the series date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed the first designs for his lights. Originally conceived for offices and industrial applications, the series was characterised by its simple, robust yet ergonomic design. The basic construction was realised without screws or welded joints.

The design of the arms, bodies, fittings and joints in particular demonstrates the exceptional attention to detail in the design. Functional construction and aesthetic form strike a harmonious balance.

Le Corbusier was fascinated by the modern design of the Lamp Gras lights from an early stage and incorporated them into his projects. Today, the models are highly sought-after design classics and collectors’ items worldwide. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has proved timeless, making the 214 a characterful wall light suitable for a wide variety of interiors.
