Anglepoise: Abandon Darkness 2021, 2 29

1
As a fifth generation family business our lifetime guarantee,
introduced in 2020, is less a policy decision and more an
extension of our longstanding commitment to service and
the firm belief that an Anglepoise is a lifelong companion.
Visually unchanged since its introduction in the 1930s,
our Original 1227TM design lamp remains a signature
product. It is instantly recognizable as an Anglepoise and
our only refinements have been more colors, finishes and
applications.
The modernist Type 75TM and Type 80TM ranges, both
designed by the legendary Sir Kenneth Grange, pare back
the distinctive Anglepoise silhouette to the barest essentials:
form, function and balance.
Playing with scale has long been another preoccupation for
us; from the diminutive 90 Mini Mini to the three-metre high
Giant Lamp. They can tread lightly on your makeshift desk
or act as an oversized exclamation mark in any room, but
all are unified by our quest to make lights that raise a smile.
Considering our impact on the world has taken on increasing
importance over the past year. Our lifetime guarantee is
one step towards being better, and next we will gradually
change our packaging as we strive to reduce (and eventually
remove) plastics from our supply chain and logistics. It is no
mean feat but it is necessary. We are rethinking the way we
do business. Better today than we were yesterday, with a
heritage to live up to, and a future to illuminate. We hope you
join us on this journey.
