Lampe Gras 205: Functional design for the desk

The Lampe Gras 205 table lamp is a 20th-century icon. Its origins date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed the first designs for his distinctive 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 205 table lamp combines functional design with a clean aesthetic. In particular, the individual details – such as the arms, body, fittings and the arrangement of the components – are thoughtfully designed and lend the light its distinctive design language.

Le Corbusier was fascinated by the modern design of the Lampe Gras lights from an early stage and incorporated them into his projects. To this day, the lights in the series epitomise a design that combines functionality with creative originality.

The lamps in the Lampe Gras series by DCW are design classics and collector’s items in high demand worldwide, particularly in France, the USA and Japan. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has proved timeless and makes the Lampe Gras 205 a highly versatile table lamp.
