An all-time classic of machine-age functionalism, George Carwardine’s Original 1227 ‘Anglepoise’, designed in 1934, achieved perfect balance by imitating the mechanical articulation of the human arm. A carefully tensioned spring assured stability of the desired working position. In continuous production for over 70 years and widely copied, originals carry a plastic badge saying ‘Anglepoise’.
