This charming pendant includes a translucent bone china shade, offering delicate visual appeal whether it is in use or not. Also featuring chrome-plated fittings and a painted ceiling rose to contrast with the ceramic shade, and add durability. Hang the Anglepoise Original 1227 Mini Ceramic Pendant on its own over a dining table, or alternatively, a row of pendants hung over a bar or worktop is a functional and stylish way to illuminate that space.
The English automotive engineer George Carwardine designed the "Anglepoise", a desk lamp, around 1930 and had its innovative construction patented in 1932. The shade is fastened to a long arm, which is jointed in two places. This construction not only makes the lampshade adjustable but also enables users to position the entire lamp in different ways, depending on what source of light is needed. The equilibrium of forces is achieved in all positions to which the lamp can be adjusted by springs, which function on the principle of the muscles in the human arm.
