Description

The Anglepoise Story: A History of Design and Innovation. In 1932, George Carwardine's ingenious design for a vehicle suspension system became the foundation for the iconic Anglepoise lamp. This unique and characterful light has been a trusted companion to artists, writers, and engineers alike, adorning desks from the Second World War era to the present day. Its enduring appeal lies in its clever combination of form and function. The Anglepoise's influence extends far beyond its own design, with its presence becoming synonymous with quality and British craftsmanship. This book tells the fascinating story behind this beloved icon, exploring its development and impact on the world of design and engineering. For anyone interested in the intersection of design, history, and innovation, Spring Light is a compelling read that sheds new light on a truly remarkable object.
