The new Edition Six in white, designed to accompany the all black Edition Five, adds the Paul Smith Artist Stripe to Sir Kenneth Grange’s classic Type 75 silhouette. With its milk white finish and pastel graduated stripe, the Edition Six is a softer take on the Edition Five’s bold, bright Artist Stripe and full black colour drench.
Design Director of Anglepoise since 2003, Sir Kenneth Grange began his illustrious career as a technical illustrator whilst in National Service. He subsequently made his reputation as an industrial product designer and in association with four partners founded Pentagram, now an international design practice with offices in USA, Germany and London. Grange’s remarkable work spans half a century and his user-centered, often quintessentially British designs have helped shape the parameters of everyday life for so many. Not only everyday household brands like Kenwood, Parker, Kodak - and of course Anglepoise - have received the Kenneth Grange treatment but also the InterCity 125 train, the regional Royal Mail postbox and the latest London BlackTaxi.
