A fixed arm design adds form to the Anglepoise Original 1227 Mini Ceramic Table Lamp, complimenting its ergonomic weighted base. The lamp’s delicate aesthetic notes and subtle ambience make it perfect for reading. The most charming feature of this lamp is its translucent bone-china shade, which becomes illuminated when switched on, contrasting with the glossy white finish of the piece when it is not in use.
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.
