Hurry in Anglepoise Paul Smith Edition 3 Now in Stock!

Paul Smith Edition 3 is now in stock at Inform Interiors just in time for the Holidays!

Edition utilizes primary color palette evoking the the visual vocabulary of Dutch painter Mondrian

“The wonderful thing about having the opportunity to work on another Anglepoise lamp is that the two editions I’ve done up to now are almost like a winter and summer version. One in dark rich colours and the other in brighter pastels. What I’ve decided to do this time is take inspiration from the artist Mondrian and use accent colours of white, red, yellow, and blue.” –Paul Smith

“Paul Smith’s remarkable ability to reimagine and then reimagine again is a testimony to his unique way of interpreting the world around us.” –Simon Terry, Anglepoise Director

This Edition joins both Edition 1 and Edition 2 that are still available at Inform Interiors; however stock is dwindling of the previous iterations so hurry in while supplies last.

New at Inform Interiors: Anglepoise + Paul Smith Type 75 Edition Two

ANGLEPOISE + PAUL SMITH

"After the success of my first Anglepoise lamp, I'm very happy to be working with them again on a fresh version.  I hope everyone likes it!"- Paul Smith

Once again Paul Smith has collaborated with Anglepoise to create Type 75 Desk Lamp-Paul Smith-Edition Two.  This lamp is a testament to this designer's remarkable deftness in instilling modernity and new life into a well-loved design classic.  The lamps will be available from September, ready for the start of the festive season.

If Edition One, with its sunny combination of cornflower, fuchsia and lime, is evocative of summer, then the Edition Two is its alter ego, evoking the deep, rich hues of autumn.  Combined with deep slate and cool grey, the striking mix of sumptuous, jewel-like colors is smart, restrained, sophisticated. Add a bold accent of orange - that element of surprise so intrinsic to Paul Smith style - and the colors take on a new intensity.

Seen in tandem, each Edition assumes a distinct and contrasting identity, helped, no doubt, by the antheopomorphic form of the lamps themselves: Edition One the more playful, perhaps more feminine of the two and Edition Two its stunning new counterpart.

"Anglepoise, never out of fashion and a product that will last and last, and Paul Smith, a special slant  on design with invention, humor and some charming eccentricity: a unique design partnership of two great British companies"--Sir Kenneth Grange

Holiday Gifting from Inform: Staff Picks

Allison's picks.  

No. 1 is  the Aalto Vase, especially for Tulips. I love how flowers almost lay in this vase, not tight and perpendicular, there's something more relaxed and natural with this vase.

8" white Aalto Vase $185. 

 Ding dong, Droog's Bottoms Up door bell has been a favourite since we first showed it 14 years ago.  Its whimsy endeared it to me right off, and 14 years later I love it still.  

I smile every time I hear the wine glasses chime.

Droog Bottoms Up $285.

Paul Smith's limited edition Angelpoise Type 75, the iconic British table light is a newer favourite.  Only 2500 produced world wide, 130 for the North American market, this is a must have, and at $220 its a great price, especially considering Paul Smith socks go for $30 a pair.

Paul Smith classic Anglepoise Type 75, $220.
