Lampe Gras 201 Table Lamp: An iconic design classic in black and chrome

The Lampe Gras 201 table lamp in black and chrome by DCW combines the characteristic design language of the Lampe Gras series with an elegant contrast of materials and colours. The origins of the design date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed his first designs for a series of lights that were innovative. Originally conceived for offices and industrial applications, the series was characterised by its simple, robust yet ergonomic construction. The basic design required no screws or welded joints.

The Lampe Gras series embodies a consistent fusion of functionalism and aesthetics. The lamp bodies, arms and fittings were designed with particular attention to function and form, and assembled into a harmonious overall structure. The distinctive design was far ahead of its time. Le Corbusier, too, was an early admirer of the Lampe Gras and incorporated the lamps into his projects.

Today, the lights in DCW’s Lampe Gras series are recognised worldwide as design classics and sought-after collector’s items. They are particularly highly regarded in France, the USA and Japan. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has retained its timeless appeal to this day. The Lampe Gras 201 in black and chrome combines the striking black colour scheme with elegant chrome elements, adding a stylish touch to desks, sideboards, side tables or other surfaces. Its classic design makes it a versatile light for both modern and timelessly furnished rooms.
