George Carwardine did not set out to design one of the world’s most famous lamps. A renowned automotive engineer, a curious Carwardine developed his concept for balancing weights using springs, cranks and levers and chanced upon the means to create an articulated task lamp from his garden workshop. After patenting his ‘constant spring’ technology, the first Anglepoise lamp was unveiled in 1933 to much acclaim and high demand.

Developing Carwardine’s archetypal design for the Type 3 series, Sir Kenneth Grange described the Anglepoise lamp as a ‘minor miracle of balance’. Responsible for some of Britain’s most successful designs, from the Kenwood Mixer to the updated London taxi, Sir Kenneth Grange has been Design Director of Anglepoise since 2003, overseeing the brand’s eminent collaborations with institutions such as Paul Smith, Margaret Howell and the Roald Dahl Museum.

A truly show-stopping design now in a limited edition Conran Blue colourway created exclusively for The Conran Shop, the iconic form of the Anglepoise Type 75 Lamp has been supersized and transformed to create the Type 75 Giant Floor Lamp, resplendent in our signature hue.

Crafted entirely in the UK, the Type 75 Giant Floor Lamp uses Anglepoise constant tension technology, offering impeccable flexibility and smooth movement for adjustable lighting angles in an eye-catching dimension perfect as a centrepiece.
