Collection Story
Origin
Bernard-Albin Gras designed the first lamps in 1921 for offices and industrial environments, with neither screws nor welded joints in the basic form. The Ravel company bought the patent in 1927 and began production; DCW éditions holds exclusive rights and has re-edited several models since 2008.
Admirers
DCW says Le Corbusier became one of Gras's most enthusiastic supporters; Mallet-Stevens, Ruhlmann, Eileen Gray, Sonia Delaunay and Georges Braque followed.
Range
Lampe Gras N°205, N°317, N°411 and the Acrobate de Gras N°322, N°323, N°324 and N°327.
