ANGLEPOISE® + MARGARET HOWELL COLLABORATION Continuing a successful and longstanding relationship, Anglepoise® and Margaret Howell are delighted to announce the September launch of two additional exclusive colours for the Type 75™ Anglepoise® desk lamp. The new colours chosen for the collection - Saxon Blue and Seagrass - complement the existing Yellow Ochre lamp.
Margaret Howell has frequently championed the Anglepoise® lamp, admiring the similar design qualities that are the essence of her men’s and women’s clothing: simplicity, functionality, authenticity and timelessness. Type 75™, designed in 2004 by British industrial product designer Sir Kenneth Grange, reinterprets the original 1930s Anglepoise® design. Its clean lines combine with the perfect balance and range of movement made possible by the unique spring mechanism that defines the brand.
“I feel I’ve lived with Anglepoise® most of my life – school homework under the light of an original black square based Anglepoise®, and later acquiring various coloured styles designed in the 1960s and 70s. One favourite, rescued from a skip, is a Yellow Apex 90, later to inform the choice of Yellow Ochre for the re-modelled Type 75™ lamp. Now, collaborating with Anglepoise®, we have added Saxon Blue and Seagrass to Yellow Ochre to make an exclusive colour range for the Type 75™. We chose colours that we felt would act as accent colour and sit well in both a domestic and working interior.” ___ Margaret Howell
