Beloved by generations of Brits, the Anglepoise Type 75 Desk Lamp is the current-day standard bearer of the task lighting first introduced in the 1930s. Having previously called the Type 75 a "minor miracle of balance," it was serendipity when noted industrial designer Sir Kenneth Grange was recently tapped to create this update. (Sir Kenneth's incredible 50-year career also spans the Kodak Instamatic, England's Intercity 125 high-speed train and the redesigned London taxi.) With its unfussy lines, fully adjustable functionality and quality undimmed over 80 years, the Type 75 has earned its status as a modernist icon.
