ABOUT PRODUCTID 33797
This vintage Kaiser Idell wall lamp from the 1950s is a hallmark of German industrial design, conceived by Christian Dell and produced by Kaiser Leuchten. The construction features an extendable scissor arm (accordion mechanism) that allows smooth adjustment of reach (approximately 50–120 cm) and shade angle. The entire piece is crafted from lacquered steel in a warm, creamy ivory tone with a subtle yellowish cast. The slightly domed metal shade is crowned with a black Bakelite switch. The scissor mechanism is composed of flat steel strips joined by visible round rivets, while the robust wall mount contains multiple mounting holes and a cable exit. The lamp retains authentic signs of use: minor paint chips, light scratches, and a gentle patina along edges and joints. Preserved in its original, collectible condition, the lamp shows no evidence of major restoration and remains fully functional and stable.This lamp channels the spirit of mid-century German functionalism: austere lines, geometric proportions, and an absence of unnecessary ornament. The warm creamy tone softens its industrial character, while the Bakelite switch atop the shade evokes memories of old workshops and studios. Each paint chip and patina mark tells a tale from past decades—as if the lamp quietly recounts an era when design was rooted in utility and craftsmanship met engineering rigor.The wall lamp is well-suited above a desk, reading nook, or bedside, where its adjustable reach can be tailored to any need.
