Lampe Gras 323 L pendant light, copper – DCW

Timeless industrial design: Lampe Gras 323 L pendant light in copper by DCW

The Lampe Gras 323 L pendant light epitomises the timeless fusion of functionality and aesthetics. Its history dates back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed the first designs for an innovative series of lights. Originally conceived for offices and industrial applications, the series was characterised by its simple, robust and, at the same time, ergonomic design. The distinctive construction required no screws or welded joints.

Particularly striking is the well-thought-out design of the individual components. The arms, body, fittings and the way the various elements are joined together result in an exceptionally clear and functional design language that was far ahead of its time. The famous architect Le Corbusier also recognised the design’s potential early on and used lights from the Lampe Gras series in his projects.

Today, the lights from DCW’s Lampe Gras series are regarded worldwide as sought-after design classics and collectors’ items. They enjoy particular popularity in France, the USA and Japan. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has lost none of its appeal over the decades and impressively demonstrates its timeless quality.
