Lampe Gras 323 L pendant light, blue - DCW

Lampe Gras 323 L pendant light by DCW: a timeless design classic

The Lampe Gras 323 L pendant light in blue with a conical lampshade by DCW éditions Paris is an iconic lighting design with roots dating back to 1922. It was in that year that Bernard-Albin Gras began developing his extraordinary series of lights, originally conceived for use in offices and industrial settings.

The Lampe Gras is characterised by the interplay of simple form, robust construction and functional design. The original construction required no screws or welded joints, thereby setting new standards for a well-thought-out, functional light design.

The attention to detail is evident in every element of the light. The arms, body, fittings and the careful assembly of the individual components lend the 323 L its characteristic aesthetic. The design was far ahead of its time and made Lampe Gras a significant exponent of functionalism.

Le Corbusier, too, recognised the exceptional quality of this design early on and used Lampe Gras lights in his projects. To this day, the collection is regarded worldwide as a sought-after design classic and collector’s item – particularly in France, the USA and Japan.

The Lampe Gras 323 L combines this historic design language with a striking blue colour scheme and a conical lampshade. The result is a pendant light that can be used both as a functional light source and as a striking design element. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has thus lost none of its timeless appeal to this day.
