A meeting of two leading British fashion and design minds! Paul Smith, one of the greatest creators of British fashion, has dressed the Type 75 lamp – an icon of British industrial design – in a new range of colours. Three models have emerged from this collaboration: edition no. 1 (designed in 2014), edition no. 2 (2015), and the latest, edition no. 3 (2016). Future collectors’ items! The brilliant British couturier has drawn closely on his own very personal designer style, tastefully combining colours as if creating a new ready-to-wear range, giving the lamp a really hip “couture” look. Paul Smith’s great sense of humour and mischievousness can be seen in this project, combined with his love of tradition and the classics. These very colourful versions are characteristic of both Paul and his creations, a very British style, always with a little unexpected detail. Type 75 is an architect lamp with an industrial design typical of the 1930s. The original model, the timeless Anglepoise “Original 1227” lamp, was designed in 1934 by engineer George Carwardine. His aim was to develop a flexible lamp, adjustable yet perfectly stable. He would use articulated arms for this purpose with innovative springs that he himself invented and patented! The Type 75 lamp is the modern version of the iconic 1227 Anglepoise model. The base is now round and the reflector takes a conical shape. It can be used as a bedside or desk lamp, at home or in the office.
