Lampe Gras 302 Ceiling Light, black – DCW

Lampe Gras 302 Ceiling Light – iconic design for the ceiling

The Lampe Gras 302 ceiling light embodies the unmistakable blend of functionality and aesthetics that has characterised the series of lights since its inception. With its clean, minimalist design, it blends seamlessly into a wide variety of interior concepts whilst adding a distinctive design accent.

The origins of the Lampe Gras range date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed the first designs for his lights. Originally intended for offices and industrial applications, the range impressed with its simple, robust and yet ergonomic design. The basic construction was realised without screws or welded joints.

The individual details – such as the body, fittings and joints – are exceptionally well thought out and lend the lights their characteristic design language. Functionality and aesthetics combine to create a design that was far ahead of its time even when it was first conceived.

Le Corbusier was an early admirer of the modern design of the Lampe Gras and used the lights in his projects. Today, the models are regarded worldwide as sought-after design classics and collectors’ items. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has proved to be timeless.

As a ceiling light, the 302 is particularly well-suited to targeted lighting and lends corridors, living areas, kitchens or workspaces a striking, architectural touch.
