Lampe Gras 304SW wall light, black/white - DCW

Lampe Gras 304SW wall light: A timeless design classic with a switch

The Lampe Gras 304SW wall light in black and white from DCW embodies the unmistakable blend of industrial functionality and French design history. The origins of the series of lights date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed his first designs. Originally intended for offices and industrial workspaces, the series impressed with its clear, robust and ergonomic construction. A defining feature is its well-thought-out form, which requires no screws or welded joints.

With its consistent design, the Lampe Gras embodies the principles of functionalism. Arms, bodies and fittings are not merely functional elements, but form part of a carefully coordinated overall composition. The innovative construction was ahead of its time and made the lights exceptional design objects. Le Corbusier, too, recognised the special quality of the Lampe Gras early on and incorporated it into his projects.

Today, the lights in DCW’s Lampe Gras series are among the world’s best-known design classics and are prized by design enthusiasts and collectors alike. These distinctive lights are particularly sought after in France, the USA and Japan. The 304SW in black and white continues this tradition with a timeless contrast between the dark body of the light and the white lampshade.

A distinctive feature of the 304SW is its integrated switch. The model is fitted directly into the wall, allowing for convenient operation without the need for an additional cable. The 304 version is available for installation without a switch. Those wishing to connect the light flexibly via a power point can opt for the 304CA version with a cable.
