Boasting all the functionality of a larger Anglepoise lamp, with classic chrome fittings and available in a range of sleek colourways, the 1227 Mini Wall Light is an innovative piece of lighting design, perfect for illuminating a hallway, bedroom or living space.
The authentically shaped shade boasts a wide degree of manoeuvrability, and the braided fabric cable and stylish wall sconce with etched logo plaque are traditional additions that add to the lamp’s recognisable aesthetic, causing this versatile little lamp to not only look great but perform superbly too.

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.
