The Big Lampe Gras Guide
Considering investing in one of the fantastic Lampe Gras lamps, but a little confused by the huge number of possibilities? Have no fear! With help from Lampemesteren’s Big Lampe Gras Guide you’ll find exactly the right lamp for your home.
The Lampe Gras lamp was designed by Bernard-Albin Gras in 1922 and was originally meant for use in industry and offices. The lamp was simple and robust and was well-suited to the period’s requirements for functionality. At that time, it was completely unheard-of to use such a utilitarian lamp in a living room or bedroom, but Lampe Gras’ uncomplicated industrial look quickly became popular with people in general and fans of German style and the Bauhaus in particular. Even the great Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers of what we think of as modern architecture, had a Lampe Gras in his office – quite an endorsement!
Lampe Gras is very popular today – complementing contemporary industrial style – and will fit into every home. Romantic, minimalist or vibrant – whatever your style, there’s a Lampe Gras for you.
But which one to choose? The first step is to look at where you need a lamp. Is the kitchen a little dark? Does the living room need a little mood lighting? Or maybe the bedroom needs an upgrade on the lamp front?
Under each category below you’ll find information about all of the relevant lamps so you can choose the right one for your home.
