Lampe Gras 304L40: Iconic wall light with a timeless design

The Lampe Gras 304L40 wall light is an outstanding example of the fusion of functionality and aesthetics. Its origins date 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 was characterised by a simple, robust and, at the same time, ergonomic construction. The basic form was realised without screws or welded joints – an extraordinary approach for its time.

It is, in particular, the well-thought-out design of the individual components that makes the lights unmistakable to this day. Arms, bodies, fittings and joints are precisely coordinated and lend the model its characteristic, functional design language.

Le Corbusier was fascinated by the modern design of Lamp Gras lights from an early stage and incorporated them into his projects. Today, the models 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 proved to be timeless. The 304L40 thus combines a piece of design history with a clean, expressive design for modern and classic living and working spaces.
