Best Products: Luxo L-1 Lamp

05.18.luxo.jpg

A living classic. The Luxo L-1 Lamp was designed in 1937 by Jac Jacobsen for Luxo. And its still completely modern and relevant. Every architectural firm weve ever worked for has used them at the drafting boards. And weve even specd them for clients before.

 
 

The lamp has lots of options for mounting: it can have a desktop base, a clamp for drafting desks, a wall-mount bracket. It can be maneuvered dependably on its spring-balanced arm. It comes in four classic finishes: gray, white, black, and chrome. Its no wonder over 25 million Luxos have been sold to date.

best type of lamp i've ever owned-- lasts forever, always looks cool in any kind of set up, and can be used for task light (in downward position) or ambient light (if tilted up to the ceiling). perfect gift for someone off to college or in a 1st apartment or a pair as a wedding present. long live luxo!
