Lampe Gras 304SW wall light, black/raw copper/white – DCW

The Lampe Gras 304SW wall light combines the iconic design language of the Lampe Gras collection with a practical feature: the light is fitted with a switch and is designed for flush-mounting directly into the wall. The combination of black, bare copper and white gives it a striking and timeless look.

The 304SW is based on Bernard-Albin Gras’s characteristic design philosophy. Simple, robust yet ergonomic forms, together with carefully considered details, define its appearance. Originally developed for offices and industrial spaces, the Lampe Gras collection has stood for functional lighting design with an unmistakable character since 1922.

A particular highlight is the raw copper lampshade. This is initially supplied bare and without a patina. Only after unpacking does the natural change in the surface begin, caused by contact with air and moisture. The copper oxidises over time and develops its characteristic raw copper look. The surface may darken visibly after as little as 14 days. The speed at which the patina develops depends on the specific environmental conditions.

The 304SW is specifically designed for flush-mounted installation with a switch. Those who prefer a different installation method can also find the light as a recessed version without a switch (304) or as a variant with a cable for plugging into a power point (304CA).

Le Corbusier was an early admirer of the Lampe Gras’s modern design and incorporated the lights into his projects. Today, the models are sought-after design classics and collectors’ items worldwide. The 304SW wall light combines this rich design heritage with practical operation and a distinctive finish that changes individually over time.
