Lampe Gras 411 Floor Lamp, black/raw copper/white - DCW

Lampe Gras 411 Floor Lamp by DCW: Iconic design with a natural raw copper finish

The Lampe Gras 411 floor lamp in black/raw copper/white by DCW éditions Paris has a long design history. Its origins date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed his innovative series of lights. Originally designed for offices and industrial workplaces, the Lampe Gras impressed with its simple, robust and ergonomic design. Its well-thought-out construction, featuring clean lines and functional details, made it a classic of modern design.

Le Corbusier was an early admirer of the Lampe Gras’s design and incorporated the lights into his projects. Today, DCW’s models are known and appreciated worldwide as timeless design classics.

Note on raw copper: The lampshade is initially supplied bare and untreated and has not yet developed a patina upon receipt. The characteristic patina only develops through contact with the air and changes over time. Humidity, temperature and other environmental factors influence the speed and intensity of the oxidation process. The raw copper may begin to darken visibly after around 14 days.

As oxidation progresses, the lampshade develops its own unique raw copper look. If you wish to speed up this process, you can store the lampshade outdoors in the shade for a few days, ensuring it is protected.
