ABOUT PRODUCTID 7196
This desk lamp, designed by Christian Dell for Kaiser Idell in Germany in the 1930s, epitomizes Bauhaus functionalism. Entirely crafted from metal, it features a matte, cool grey finish with a subtle bluish undertone, characteristic of the powder coating and enameling techniques of the era. The slender, gently arched arm and dome-shaped shade create a harmonious, compact silhouette, anchored by a round, stable base. Visible screws and metal joints highlight the lamp’s structural honesty, while brass details—a joint at the top of the arm and a small switch—offer a warm metallic accent within the monochrome palette. A black cylindrical element at the base of the arm adds a subtle visual contrast. The power cord is black and modern, suggesting an update for safety. Dimensions: height 60 cm, width 30 cm, depth 17 cm, base diameter 17 cm. Condition: good, with no dents or major scratches and only minor traces of age typical for original vintage pieces.The lamp’s form speaks in the voice of early modernism: balanced, purpose-driven, and thoughtfully resolved in every detail. The matte finish absorbs light, underscoring the discipline and rigour of Bauhaus workshop design. Brass accents recall the era’s appreciation for artisanal precision
