Lampe Gras 322 L pendant light – conical, in raw copper

The Lampe Gras 322 L pendant light combines the collection’s iconic design language with a distinctive, conical lampshade made of raw copper. The warm metal finish lends the light a striking yet timeless appeal.

The origins of Lampe Gras date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed his first well-thought-out designs. Originally conceived for offices and industrial spaces, the range is characterised by simple, robust and ergonomic design. The basic construction requires no screws or welded joints.

Le Corbusier was an early admirer of the Lampe Gras’s modern design and incorporated the lights into his projects. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has since established itself as a timeless classic.

Raw copper – natural patina

The lampshade, made of raw copper, is initially supplied bare and untreated. The characteristic patina only develops after unpacking, through contact with the air and natural environmental influences.

Over time, the copper oxidises, causing its colour to change. A visible darkening may occur after as little as 14 days. The speed and intensity of the patina formation depend, amongst other things, on humidity, temperature and environmental conditions.

As a result, each lampshade develops its own unique raw copper look over time.
