Lampe Gras 312 Ceiling Light, black/raw copper/white – DCW

Lampe Gras 312 Ceiling Light – striking design in raw copper

The Lampe Gras 312 ceiling light combines the characteristic design language of the Lampe Gras collection with an expressive combination of black, raw copper and white. Its clean lines make it a versatile ceiling light for modern living and working spaces.

The 312 embodies the functional aesthetic that has defined Lampe Gras since its inception. Its simple, robust yet ergonomic design was originally developed for offices and industrial spaces. Well-thought-out details and a construction free of screws or welded joints lend the light its distinctive character.

In the raw copper version, the lampshade is initially supplied polished and without a patina. The characteristic surface only develops after unpacking, through contact with air and moisture. The copper oxidises over time, changing its colour tones in the process. The first signs of darkening may become visible after around 14 days. How quickly the patina develops depends on factors such as humidity, temperature and the environment.

The origins of the Lamp Gras date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed his first designs. Le Corbusier was an early admirer of the modern design and used the lights in his projects.

Today, the models are regarded worldwide as sought-after design classics and collectors’ items. The 312 ceiling light combines this timeless design heritage with the unique, naturally changing surface of raw copper.
