Lampe Gras 317 Table Lamp: Iconic design in striking blue

The Lampe Gras 317 table lamp in blue by DCW combines the characteristic design language of a historic design classic with a striking colour scheme. Its history dates 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 impressed with its simple, robust yet ergonomic design. The basic construction required no screws or welded joints.

The lights in the Lampe Gras series epitomise the fusion of functionalism and aesthetics. Distinctive elements such as the arms, bodies and fittings were carefully designed and assembled into a well-thought-out overall structure. The extraordinary design language was far ahead of its time. Le Corbusier was fascinated by the modern design of the Lampe Gras from an early stage and incorporated the lights into his projects.

Today, the lights in DCW’s Lampe Gras series 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 proven to be timeless. The blue version of the Lampe Gras 317 adds a striking splash of colour and lends the table lamp a modern, characterful look. It therefore blends seamlessly into both contemporary and classically designed living and working spaces.
