Lampe Gras 317 Table Lamp: Iconic design with a sophisticated chrome finish

The Lampe Gras 317 table lamp in chrome by DCW combines the characteristic design language of a historic design classic with an elegant, modern finish. 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. Every detail – from the arms and the body right through to the fittings – was carefully crafted 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 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 to be timeless. The chrome finish of the Lampe Gras 317 lends the table lamp a high-quality and elegant look that emphasises the iconic character of the design and allows it to blend harmoniously into a variety of interior styles.
