Vintage Red 1980s Anglepoise 90 Lamp by Herbert Terry & Sons

This stunning Herbert Terry & Sons Anglepoise 90 lamp is an absolute design classic and one which in our opinion no home should be without. Modified by the company over the years, the 90 replaced the original 1227 Anglepoise lamp, designed by George Carwardine, after they stopped producing this model for a time in 1968.

As an engineer the inadequacies of available lighting products were all too clear to Carwardine, prompting him to set about developing a frictionless mechanism that could balance and direct light to any position. Essentially, he wanted to create a lamp that was as versatile as a human arm, having instant flexibility and, more elusively, the ability to hold the chosen position, all at the touch of a finger. 

Designed originally as commercial task lighting, however the market for home and office use soon became apparent. 

In general good condition the light holds its positions well and features some light chipping and marks.

Due to the many adjustable positions of the lamp, it's quite hard to measure but here's a few approximate measurements to get you going, feel free to get in touch should you require any more. At the tallest point with everything standing to attention/upright, the light measures 90cm while the base of the lamp measures 18.5cm in diameter. Finally, the cone measures 21.5cm long with a diameter of 14.5cm. With 222cm of black plastic flex, and new 3 pin UK plug.
