Lampe Gras

In 1922 Bernard-Albin GRAS designed a series of lamps for use in offices and industrial environments. The Gras lamp, as it was called, was astounding in its simple, robust and ergonomic design. In 1927 the Ravel company purchased the patent & started production of the Lampe GRAS lamps.

Bernard-Albin Gras was one of the most innovative designers of the 20th century. The functional aesthetic of his lamps and design details were truly original and ahead of their time. For the first time in history, a lighting brand emerged that was equally popular with both professional and residential applications.
