Anglepoise is again supporting\u00a0New Designers<\/a>\u00a0and the ND Awards, the leading London graduate design awards, in 2021. Running from 30th June – 10th July, the ND awards is all about celebrating and championing emerging talent and, vitally, it is about connecting industry with young talent and exchanging ideas and creativity.<\/p>\n

Here is our brief for this year:<\/p>\n

Deep work is\u00a0<\/span>hard<\/span><\/em>\u00a0in our distracted world and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0even harder after the last year.\u00a0Making time\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>focus and switch\u00a0<\/span>on your imagination<\/span>, switch off distractions and improve productivity is a challenge. So too is doing all of this\u00a0<\/span>whilst also looking after your wellbeing and mental health.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

\u200bThe Anglepoise lamp is loved for many reasons; its form, its function and its \u2018everyman\u2019 appeal: there really is an\u00a0<\/span>Anglepoise for everyone. It\u00a0has the ability to\u00a0illuminate and demarcate \u2013 something\u00a0we have\u00a0all needed help with\u00a0<\/span>in the last 12 months as work, study and leisure have bled into one.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

\u200bWe already make some of the best task lights that there are for the doers, the makers and the creators. But what\u00a0<\/span>lies ahead? Given a blank sheet of paper, where would\u00a0<\/span>you\u00a0<\/span><\/em>take the humble task light?\u00a0We would\u00a0like you to\u00a0<\/span>design a task light that creates an environment for deep, productive work and supports wellbeing.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

\u200bYou can be as creative as you like but it must be commercially viable and well-engineered<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
