A few weeks ago, we took our Lightmakers workshop to Europe for the very first time. Hosted by our Anglepoise dealer Modulor in Berlin, 18 guests joined us for an evening of archive stories, hands on craft, and spring balanced engineering, all centred around one icon. The Original 1227 Mini Desk Lamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Set in the heart of Kreuzberg, Modulor is a true design destination. Two floors, around three thousand square metres, and an inspiring mix of materials and tools, from art supplies and craft essentials to furniture and lighting, including a large selection of the Anglepoise collection<\/a>. It felt like the perfect place to slow down and look closely at how things are made, and why they last.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Germany is also our European hub. Since 2020, it has been where our operations to support continental clients are based, so bringing this workshop to Berlin carried real meaning for us. It also felt like a fitting way to round off our 90th year celebrations, not with a display piece behind glass, but with working lamps being built, tuned, and taken home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Over two hours, the group moved through the build step by step, assembling the Original 1227 Mini Desk Lamp from its individual components. Every nut, bolt and spring had its moment. Not as decoration, but as part of the precise system that gives an Anglepoise its balance, movement, and unmistakable feel. By the end, each participant had brought their lamp to life. Finely tuned, perfectly poised, and ready to work for decades to come.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is what we love about making workshops. They reveal what sits behind the silhouette. They highlight the repairability and timelessness of our design, and the quiet satisfaction of understanding how something works, and knowing it can be looked after.\"\"<\/p>\n

To set the scene, we transformed the studio into a small timeline of Anglepoise history, drawn from our archives and presented by Simon Terry, our fifth generation Brand Custodian. A reminder that our story is not just about products, but about practical invention, thoughtful design, and the long life that follows.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our thanks again to Modulor for hosting us. Until the next time.<\/p>\n
