Vintage articulated lamp with clamp / clip, designed by Bernard-Albin Gras in 1930.

Icon of articulated industrial lamps, the Gras lamp was designed in the 1920s by Bernard-Albin Gras. Here is an old model stamped on the joint, Ravel Gras Clamart edition. Period electricity and verified. Dimensions of the large arm 60 cm / small 20 cm / reflector H16.5 x diameter 15 cm. For the history: In 1921, Bernard-Albin Gras created a range of lamps for industry and design offices in Paris, and the Gras lamp won a gold medal at the Lépine competition. It quickly attracted the interest of many architects and decorators, including Le Corbusier, who was one of the first distributors of these luminaires, first in his architectural office and then in most of his projects. Subsequently, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Eileen Gray, Michel Roux-Spitz, Sonia Delaunay, Georges Braque, Matisse, and many others contributed to making the Gras lamp legendary. The patent was purchased by the Ravel company in 1927, and in 1932 the lamp was renamed "Lampe RAVEL Clamart." In the 1950s, competition due to the technological innovation of the Jieldé lamp profoundly affected the GRAS/RAVEL lamps, leading to a complete halt in production in 1970.
