George Carwardine | Office desk lamps
George Carwardine (1887–1947) was an English engineer who began his career in the automotive industry and, through many twists and turns, ended up as a lighting designer. His breakthrough invention was a desk lamp named Anglepoise, which was based on an innovative four-spring tension mechanism. Carwardine’s business grew quickly from a small-scale backyard workshop into an international lighting company, Anglepoise. During his career, Carwardine developed many variations of his tension spring lamps – the best known is still his first design, the Original 1227, which was released in 1932.
George Carwardine has designed pieces for the following brands:

How to choose a desk lamp?
Be sure to find a desk lamp that provides enough light for the task at hand and for the size of your desk. Also, consider how much adjustability you need from your desk lamp – some have multiple bending joints to precisely align them with your working position, while others offer fixed lighting and are great for ambience. Some of our contemporary desk lamps are dimmable, which is convenient if you’re going to use it for different purposes.
When buying a designer desk lamp, it’s also essential that it looks good and fits with the rest of your décor and other lighting like wall lamps.
