Lampe Gras 303 Wall Light – Black/Raw Copper/White

The Lampe Gras 303 wall light combines the collection’s iconic design language with a striking contrast of materials and colours: black, raw copper and white. Its timeless design makes it a stylish and functional wall light for modern living and working spaces.

The origins of Lampe Gras date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed his first well-thought-out designs. Originally conceived for offices and industrial spaces, the range is characterised by simple, robust and ergonomic design. The basic construction requires no screws or welded joints.

Le Corbusier was an early admirer of the Lampe Gras’s modern design and incorporated the lights into his projects. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has since established itself as a timeless classic.

Raw copper – natural patina

The raw copper lampshade is initially supplied bare and untreated. The characteristic patina only develops after unpacking, through contact with air and natural environmental influences.

Over time, the copper oxidises, causing its colour to change. The surface may visibly darken after as little as 14 days. The speed and intensity of the patina formation depend, amongst other things, on humidity, temperature and the prevailing environmental conditions.

Through natural oxidation, the lampshade develops its own unique raw copper look over time. If you wish to speed up the process, you can place the lampshade outdoors in the shade for a few days, ensuring it is protected.
