Lampe Gras 317: Clean lines and functional elegance

The Lampe Gras 317 table lamp is a 20th-century icon. Its origins date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed the first designs for his series of lights. Originally conceived for offices and industrial applications, the range impressed with its simple, robust yet ergonomic design. The basic construction required no screws or welded joints.

The lights in DCW’s Lampe Gras range embody the fusion of functionalism and aesthetics. In particular, the design of the individual details – such as the arms, body, fittings and the assembly of the components – testifies to an exceptionally well-thought-out originality and a design language that was far ahead of its time.

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 remain among the most sought-after design classics and collector’s items worldwide, particularly in France, the USA and Japan.

Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has stood the test of time over the decades, making the Lampe Gras 317 a distinctive table lamp for modern living and working spaces.
