LUXO NORWAY (1934-present): Luxo is a worldfamous Norwegian manufacturer of lamps. Based in Oslo the company was founded in 1934. In 1937 Jac Jacobsen founder of Luxo, invented the Luxo L-1 lamp which was a modification of the earlier British Anglepoise Lamp (a type of desk lamp with a jointed arm and counterbalancing springs that hold it in any position to which it is adjusted.)  The lamp was the inspiration for the 1986 animated short film Luxo Jr by Pixar Animation Studios. The short subsequently became the subject of a lawsuit from Luxo.
