Hot on the heels of the Original 1227™ Brass Collection, iconic British lighting brand Anglepoise® is delighted to reveal a new 4-piece Original 1227™ Mini Collection. The collection, which comprises a desk, table and two wall lamps, will be available worldwide from January 2016.
All about scale What’s so new about the Original 1227™ Mini? First and foremost, it's the scale. Consider the articulated Original 1227™ Mini Desk Lamp for example; a downsized carbon copy of the most iconic and best loved 1930’s Anglepoise® design. Scaled down to two-thirds of its original size the lamp assumes a new identity; it becomes a playful, more versatile and contemporary version of the Original 1227™ design. Repeat the exercise with table, wall and wall-mounted lights and see how they are equally transformed.
Anglepoise® revisited
At little more than 20 inches tall, diminutive it may be, but the new fixed-arm Original 1227™ Mini Table Lamp packs quite a punch. Admittedly the overall profile may look a little different but the shade is just the same and the stylish base with integrated switch certainly looks the part. What's more, when it comes to performance this versatile little Mini is every inch an Anglepoise®. You’ll find it’s just the job for beside the bed or wherever space is an issue.
Wall-to-wall solutions Wall lights can be just as stylish and functional as ceiling, floor and table lamps and they’re much more compact. So Anglepoise® has come up with two Mini options: a traditional wall light, which comes complete with a stylish sconce with integral switch and a wall mounted light for maximum flexibility and movement. Tip: when the wall-mounted lamp isn't in use, fold it back against the wall to make more space.
Colour matters The arrival of the new Original 1227™ Mini Collection is just the start of a carefully orchestrated colour refresh that will extend to a new, expanded, full-size Original 1227™ Collection by Spring/Summer 2016. Jet Black, a long-standing best-selling colour, remains in the collection alongside two new contemporary classics: Linen White and Dove Grey. The devil's in the detail Anglepoise® has been making lamps for 80 years and knows just how much the small details count. From the unique sprung mechanism and traditional stepped base of the desk lamp to the traditional chrome fittings and the distinctive shade utilised across the collection, these new Mini Originals are as authentic as it comes. Where new details have been introduced - the pyramid-shaped base with integrated switch of the table lamp for example - utmost consideration has been given to ensure a perfect ‘fit’ with this heritage design. As a final touch the addition of an etched logo plaque serves as a reminder of the high performance and reliability you can expect from every Anglepoise®.
