Lampe Gras 322 L pendant light, copper/white – DCW

Iconic design: Lampe Gras 322 L pendant light by DCW

The Lampe Gras 322 L pendant light is an icon of the 20th century. Its origins date back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras put his first designs down on paper. Since then, the Lampe Gras range has grown steadily. Originally developed for offices and industrial applications, the series was unique in its simple, robust yet ergonomic design. The basic construction required no screws or welded joints.

The lights in DCW’s Lampe Gras range embody the fusion of functionalism and aesthetics. In particular, the design of individual details such as the arms, body, fittings and the assembly of the components demonstrate a well-considered originality that was far ahead of its time. Le Corbusier was fascinated by the modern design of the Lampe Gras lights from an early stage and incorporated them into his projects.

Today, the lights in the Lampe Gras series are sought-after collector’s items worldwide, particularly in France, the USA and Japan. Bernard-Albin Gras’s talented and visionary design has proved timeless and continues to shape the series’ characteristic design language to this day.
