Design Director of Anglepoise since 2003, Sir Kenneth Grange
began his illustrious career as a technical illustrator whilst in National
Service. He subsequently made his reputation as an industrial product
designer and in association with four partners founded Pentagram,
now an international design practice with offices in the USA, Germany
and London. Grange’s remarkable work spans half a century and
his user-centered, often quintessentially British designs have helped
shape the parameters of everyday life for so many. Not only have
everyday household brands like Kenwood, Parker, Kodak - and of
course Anglepoise - received the Kenneth Grange treatment but
also the InterCity 125 train, the regional Royal Mail postbox and the
TX1 London black taxi.
“He’s the classically styled godfather of British modernism, renowned
for designing some of the most iconic industrial products of the past
50 years.” - Alyn Griffiths and Sam Rogers for Wallpaper.com on
Sir Kenneth Grange winning a 2016 London Design Medal.
