DCW éditions offers GRAS a legendary lamp created in 1921 by Bernard-Albin Gras for industry and design offices. DCW éditions has indeed decided to give a second life to La Lampe GRAS, which is astonishing for its ergonomics and the simplicity of its mechanics – no screws, no soldering – making it foolproofly robust.But Bernard-Albin Gras was also one of the first designers of the 20th century: not content with innovation, he added an original functional aesthetic to his creations, particularly in the design of the bases and connecting rods. Very quickly, Le Corbusier, seduced by the modernity of its design and its quality of use, adopted the range of GRAS lamps and incorporated them into his agency as well as into his numerous projects around the world. The Bold Lamp then enters the legend.The GRAS N°204 lamp, re-issued by DCW éditions has been designed to be perfectly functional as a headboard. The ball-and-socket joint is replaced by a pivot, which is better suited to intensive handling in this configuration.
