About George Carwardine
George Carwardine (1887-1948) was an English engineer and designer best known for his groundbreaking invention, the Anglepoise lamp. This iconic task light, characterized by its remarkable flexibility and balance, revolutionized the way people interacted with light and remains a sought-after design classic today.
Born in Bath, England, Carwardine initially pursued a career in automotive engineering, specializing in suspension systems. His fascination with mechanics and his keen eye for detail would later prove instrumental in his lighting design endeavors.
In the early 1930s, Carwardine's attention turned to the challenge of creating an adjustable lamp that could be effortlessly positioned and maintain its chosen position without the need for constant readjustments. Inspired by the human arm's ability to hold its position, he developed a system of springs and counterweights that mirrored the principle of muscle tension.
In 1932, Carwardine's efforts culminated in the patent for the Anglepoise lamp. This innovative design featured a spring-loaded arm that could be manipulated into an infinite number of positions, providing optimal illumination without sacrificing stability. Its sleek, minimalist aesthetic further enhanced its appeal, making it a coveted addition to drawing rooms, workshops, and industrial settings alike.
The Anglepoise lamp's success was immediate. It quickly gained recognition for its exceptional functionality and timeless design, earning Carwardine widespread acclaim and establishing him as a pioneer in the field of lighting design.
Throughout his career, Carwardine continued to refine and expand the Anglepoise range, introducing various models tailored to specific purposes and environments. His dedication to innovation and his commitment to creating products that seamlessly blended form and function cemented his legacy as one of the most influential figures in the history of lighting design.

Well- and solidly-made from good materials. Flexible and adaptable to many different situations. The only change I would recommend, and it's a small one, is that the distributor put all tools and parts in a manila envelope to avoid the possibility of losing a part while opening the delivery-box. This is truly a quality product.
