Type 75 Mini

The British design icon — the Anglepoise has been the standard desk lamp since 1932 and the Type 75 Mini is their most refined interpretation. The constant tension spring mechanism holds position precisely, the range of motion is comprehensive enough to light any desk configuration, and the colour range includes options unavailable from any other lamp brand. The lamp against which all others are measured.
