Lampe Gras 215 Floor Lamp, black/raw copper/white – DCW

Lampe Gras 215 Floor Lamp – timeless design in raw copper

The Lampe Gras 215 floor lamp combines the characteristic design language of the Lampe Gras collection with an striking combination of black, raw copper and white. Its clean silhouette and functional design make it a striking light source for modern living and working spaces.

The 215 embodies the characteristic blend of functionality and aesthetics for which Lampe Gras has been renowned since its inception. The simple, robust yet ergonomic design was originally developed for offices and industrial spaces. The well-thought-out design of the individual components gives the floor lamp its unmistakable character.

The lampshade, made of raw copper, is particularly distinctive. It is initially supplied bare and without a patina. Only after unpacking does the natural transformation of the surface begin through contact with air and moisture. The copper oxidises over time and develops its own unique, raw copper look. The first signs of darkening may become visible after around 14 days. How quickly the patina develops depends on the specific environmental conditions.

The origins of the Lampe Gras date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed his first well-conceived lamp designs. The basic construction required no screws or welded joints, making it far ahead of its time.

Le Corbusier was an early admirer of the Lampe Gras’s modern design and incorporated the lights into his projects. Today, the models are regarded worldwide as sought-after design classics and collectors’ items.

The 215 floor lamp continues this long design tradition, combining iconic styling with the distinctive materiality of raw copper, whose surface evolves naturally over time.
