We are delighted to unveil our fifth collaboration with renowned designer, Paul Smith. The Anglepoise + Paul Smith Edition Five, available exclusively from www.anglepoise.com and paulsmith.com from November, comprises two desk lamps (Mini and Standard size) and a floor lamp and builds on Paul’s ‘classic with a twist’ design philosophy.

Where our previous Paul Smith collaborations have maximised on Paul’s mastery of colour, the Edition Five takes a different approach and features the Artist Stripe on a pared back, pure black version of the Type 75 Anglepoise, itself designed by Sir Kenneth Grange.

Adam Wade, Technical Director at Anglepoise: “By creating a design that is head-to-toe black – from screws and fittings through to our signature springs – we bring focus to the purity of Kenneth’s Type 75 design. For the first time the Paul Smith Artist Stripe features on an Anglepoise lamp and so we also get an instantly recognisable flourish befitting of Paul Smith’s name.  The Anglepoise + Paul Smith Edition Five is elegant, fun and just a little bit eccentric; a future classic in the making.”

This new collection comes at a time when Anglepoise has stepped up its commitment to combating a world without fast homeware through the introduction of its Lifetime Guarantee. Anglepoise has introduced the guarantee on all its products used in a domestic setting to stem the flow of products destined for landfill and remind people that good design goes beyond aesthetics. The heirlooms of tomorrow should be repairable, reusable and, as a last resort, recyclable.

“166 Years in the making and 3 years in the doing” is how our Joint MD and Owner Simon Terry describes Spring Light, our new book by author Jonathan Glancey. It shines a light on our design history with pages of treasured intricate illustrations, stunning photography, special memories and over 90 years of design influence.

Starting with a Foreward by Sir John Hegarty, who dissects the makings of a brand icon, the reader is then guided through Angelpoise’s history by Jonathan Glancey, starting with an introduction to the design, George Carwardine’s beginnings and even Anglepoise during the Second World War.

We get to peek through the archives and experience the launch of the Model 1227 through the accompanying advertising of the time, we see how beloved the ‘humble lamp’ became in films and cinema and, we learn of its development from the 1970s through to the 2000s. With Simon at the helm, the 2000s heralded working relationships with industrial designer Sir Kenneth Grange as well as collaborations with the likes of Paul Smith and Margaret Howell, all of which have helped rejuvenate the brand for a new generation.

In a chapter titled Undimmed Light: the future of Anglepoise and new designs, we also experience more recent innovations and get a glimpse of what the future may hold too.

Spring light is the perfect coffee table book for Anglepoise fans and design lovers alike. It adds to Jonathan’s portfolio of architectural books including: The Story of Architecture, Lost Buildings, 20th Century Architecture, Architecture: A Visual History, London: Bread and Circuses and John Betjeman on Churches.

Compact as it is, 90 Mini Mini is also a serious piece of kit that puts light right where you need it. The long-life, dimmable, low-energy LED module integrated into the shade will provide focused light for up to 20,000 hours.

Hyper flexible, the light is powered by USB for enhanced portability. You can plug it in to a normal wall plug (via a USB adapter), a computer, or even a portable battery.

Coming soon: we are pairing our coveted Margaret Howell colours with the equally loved Type 75 Mini Wall Light meaning you can adorn your walls with lights in Saxon Blue, Sienna and Yellow Ochre colours.

Anglepoise has a successful and long-standing relationship with the contemporary British clothing designer, spanning nearly twenty years. Our first collaboration of the limited-edition Type 3 Anglepoise in pale turquoise, originally launching in 2004, which was followed by the popular Type 75 collaboration in 2012. The current three colours are already available across desk and floor lamps, but this is the first time the partnership has designed a wall light together.

Margaret Howell has frequently championed the Anglepoise lamp, admiring the similar design qualities that are the essence of her men’s and women’s clothing: simplicity, functionality, authenticity, and timelessness. Anglepoise’s Type 75, designed in 2004 by British industrial product designer Sir Kenneth Grange, reinterprets the original 1930s Anglepoise design. Its clean lines combine with the perfect balance and range of movement made possible by the unique spring mechanism that defines the brand.

The Type 75 Wall Light – Margaret Howell Edition is priced at £100.00 in the UK and will be available from the end of June.

Trade partners, including the A&D community, specifiers and interior designers, interested in the Margaret Howell Wall Lights should contact their sales manager or email hello@anglepoise.com to find out more about stock availability.

We’ve added two new wall lights to the Sir Kenneth Grange designed Type 80 range. Available in Matt Black and Grey Mist we have the Type 80 W2, which has a short arm (max horizontal reach 25cm, max vertical reach 20cm) and angular articulation at the neck of the lamp and the base. It is ideal for reading lights and mood lighting and makes a great bedside lamp to boot. The W2 is available to buy now.

In June we will also have the much anticipated Type 80 W3, featuring a dramatic long arm (max reach 75cm horizontal, 70cm vertical) and three different joints connecting it together, allowing for precise angular articulation of the warm pool of light. It can be used in all rooms of the house but is an excellent choice for expansive spaces, lighting hallways and kitchens in particular, as well as large open plan rooms.

The Type 80 wall lights offer the now classic ‘halo’ light-escape in the shade, creating an extra dimension  and ambience in low light environments or in any space where flexible lighting is a must.

To pre order the W3, please call us on +44 (0)1227 538 038 or contact us via the ‘support’ button on our website. Stock expected in June 2021.

Iconic British lighting brand, Anglepoise, has taken one of its most classic designs and reimagined it to make the new Type 75 Mini Table Lamp.

The original Type 75, launched in 2004 and often cited as Design Director Sir Kenneth Grange’s most favoured design, was itself his reinterpretation of an original Anglepoise design for the 21st century. Its pared-back aesthetic and versatility has made the Type 75 a best-selling collection worldwide.

New for Autumn 2020, Anglepoise has taken the Type 75 in a bold new direction. The Type 75 Mini Table Lamp features a more simplified design, with greater articulation and range of movement within the shade. It is ideal for bedside tables, compact desks and anywhere a smaller, neater profile is preferred.

The Type 75 Mini Table Lamp comes in three satin finish colours: Mole Grey, Umber Black and Turmeric Gold with brushed aluminium details.

It has a large, ergonomically designed On/Off switch on the base of the lamp so there is no more fumbling or stretching to use the lamp.

The new Type 75 Mini Table Lamp features Sir Kenneth’s signature light escape which create a ecorative ambient effect and light spill from the top of the shade.

Priced at an accessible £99, the lamp can be used in a variety of rooms and settings, whether it is for student digs, a compact bedroom makeover or a curated home office.

The Type 75 Mini Table Lamp is available from September 2020, and an LED 6W E27 replaceable bulb is provided. It is available to purchase on www.anglepoise.com or John Lewis & Partners online.

Manchester has long been a cultural and creative focus of the United Kingdom. Whether you are seeking the cosmopolitan, the creative or merely a crazy night out you’ll find it in spades in the city that Jeanette Winterson described as “… at once untamed and unmetropolitan; at the same time, connected and worldly.”

Located in the very heart of the city, exciting newcomer to the scene Hotel Brooklyn can be found a mere 450 yards from Canal Street. This 189 room boutique hotel has been beautifully designed, combining a feeling of warm welcome with flashes of a typical New York neighbourhood lining up alongside creative flourishes, unique furniture and facilities for every need.

Opened in February 2020, the hotel interiors were curated by renowned industry specialists The Squid Inc. As with sister hotel The Gotham, The Squid Inc team worked hard to highlight and enhance the original character of the building while adding distinctive touches along the way. Inherent to this was the imaginative use of original lighting solutions; the creative theme of “Brooklyn” required every detail to be iconic as well as enduring.

The original 1227 wall lights have been added to all 189 bedrooms in the hotel and were chosen for the instantly recognisable silhouette and distinctive features such as the classic braided flex and brass detailing.

Speaking from The Squid Inc, Interior Designer Oliver Redfern said “From the first stages of the design process, we were keen to find a British brand that could provide heritage with creativity and – crucially – who understood our aims. Anglepoise certainly didn’t disappoint. From the moment we received the first sample, the sense of quality meant we knew we had the right fitting.”

In his latest collaboration with Anglepoise, designer Paul Smith revisits a unique patchwork colour scheme previously created for a unique version of the Land Rover Defender. The palette now becomes the inspiration for another classic British design, the Type 75 lighting collection created for Anglepoise by renowned British industrial product designer, Sir Kenneth Grange.

Anglepoise + Paul Smith Edition Four will be available from September 2019. 

“I feel I’ve lived with Anglepoise® most of my life – school homework under the light of an original black square based Anglepoise®, and later acquiring various coloured styles designed in the 1960s and 70s. One favourite, rescued from a skip, is a Yellow Apex 90, later to inform the choice of Yellow Ochre for the re-modelled Type 75 lamp.

Now, collaborating with Anglepoise® we have added Saxon Blue and Seagrass to Yellow Ochre to make an exclusive colour range for the Type 75. We chose colours that we felt would act as accent colour and sit well in both a domestic and working interior.” – Margaret Howell

Continuing a successful and longstanding relationship, Anglepoise® and Margaret Howell are delighted to announce the September launch of two additional exclusive colours for the Type 75 Anglepoise® desk lamp. The new colours chosen for the collection – Saxon Blue and Seagrass – complement the existing Yellow Ochre lamp.
