Who invented the gooseneck lamp?
1 Answer
The gooseneck lamp got its start as the Anglepoise, created by George Carwardine and the patent applied for in 1932. The articulated arm of the lamp allowed for task lighting that was easily adjustable. Since then, the arm has been modified greatly and one result is the smooth look of the gooseneck lamp. Find a collection of expertly vetted gooseneck lamps from some of the world’s top reputable sellers on 1stDibs.
