The "Gralamp" was created by French inventor Bernard Alban Grass in 1921. The ball joint, which can freely change its direction and angle, is an advanced and rational design that does not use any screws or welding. Incidentally, DCW of France reissued this lighting, which is currently popular as a collector's item, in 2008.
An exhibition and sale of all such original "Gralump" products will be held at the "Old Joe Flagship Store". All products are owned by "Phaeton," a select store in Ishikawa Prefecture that has been a longtime friend of the company. Here is a part of them.
On the evening of the first day, Friday the 22nd, business hours will be extended until 10pm in conjunction with the opening party and the flagship store's regular "NIGHT GATHERING" event. It will be a rare opportunity to see such a large number of "gralumps" in one place. Anyone is welcome to enter, so please come and visit.
