Designed by George Carwardine in 1935 and barely changed since, the Original 1227 Brass remains one of the most considered objects in British industrial design. The constant-tension spring mechanism holds the arm in place without levers or locks, making it effortless to position. The Jet Black colourway pairs polished brass hardware with a matte shade — a pairing that works equally well in a Mayfair study or a converted warehouse office.
