Lampe Gras 323 L pendant light, round, raw copper/white – DCW

Lampe Gras 323 L Pendant Light – iconic design with a natural copper patina

The Lampe Gras 323 L pendant light embodies the characteristic blend of functionality and timeless aesthetics that has defined the Lampe Gras collection since its inception. Its clean, robust yet ergonomic design makes it a striking pendant light for modern living and working spaces.

The 323 L is based on Bernard-Albin Gras’s original design philosophy. Well-thought-out details, a clean design language and a construction free of screws or welded joints lend the light its unmistakable character.

In the raw copper version, the lampshade is initially supplied without a patina. The characteristic surface only develops over time through contact with air and moisture. The untreated copper can therefore oxidise more quickly and change colour. The first signs of darkening may appear after as little as 14 days. How quickly the patina develops depends on the specific environmental conditions.

The history of the Lampe Gras dates back to 1922, when Bernard-Albin Gras developed his first well-thought-out designs. Originally conceived for offices and industrial spaces, the range became renowned for its simple yet innovative design. Le Corbusier was an early admirer of its modern design language and incorporated Lampe Gras into his projects.

Today, these lights are regarded worldwide as sought-after design classics and collector’s items. Bernard-Albin Gras’s visionary design has proved timeless, making the 323 L pendant light a stylish blend of functionality, history and distinctive materials.
