Lampe Gras 411 Floor Lamp: A timeless design classic in black and white

The Lampe Gras 411 floor lamp in black and white by DCW combines the iconic design language of a historic design classic with a clean, high-contrast colour scheme. Its history dates back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed the first designs for his pioneering series of lights. Originally conceived for offices and industrial applications, the series impressed with its simple, robust yet ergonomic design. The basic construction required no screws or welded joints.

The Lampe Gras series represents an extraordinary fusion of functionalism and aesthetics. Characteristic elements such as the arms, bodies and fittings were carefully designed and assembled into a well-thought-out overall structure. The innovative design language was far ahead of its time. Le Corbusier was fascinated by the modern design of the Lampe Gras from an early stage and incorporated the lights into his projects.

Today, the lights in DCW’s Lampe Gras series are highly sought-after design classics and collector’s items worldwide, particularly in France, the USA and Japan. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has proven to be timeless. The black-and-white version of the Lampe Gras 411 emphasises the floor lamp’s clean lines and creates a striking yet elegant accent. This allows it to be seamlessly integrated into both modern and classic living and working spaces.
