Thanks to Lynsie for finding this on BoingBoing, the Anglepoise lamp is 70 years old this year. We live by these lamps here at the Spreadshirt office. There is even a Wikipedia page for the Anglepoise lamp.
The Anglepoise lamp was the twentieth century’s most successful and innovative desk lamp design. It was designed in 1933 by the British designer George Carwardine.
Yes we are amazed that there is a wikipedia page just for this one type of lamp, but we are happy to know that even our lamps are innovative.

To celebrate the 70th birthday of the Anglepoise lamp they have created the 8 ft version of the lamp as seen in this picture:
