Designed for workshops, design offices, and industrial environments, it was remarkable for its absence of screws and welds, favoring articulated arms and simple yet ergonomic ball joints. Its robustness and functional elegance quickly won over Le Corbusier—he chose it to illuminate his studio and recommended it for his projects.
In 1927, the patent was transferred to the Ravel Clamart company, which became the main manufacturer of Gras models, bearing the Ravel Clamart brand. Among the most iconic models are the 201 (vice lamp), the 205 (portable lamp with a triangular pyramidal base), the 206 (oak base version), and the 210/207, as well as wall lamps such as the 222 and 304 models. These pieces embody the elegance of industrial design from the 1920s and 1930s. This piece has an attribution mark,
