ABOUT PRODUCTID 16339
The Model 6781 table lamp, designed by Christian Dell for Kaiser Idell in the 1950s, features a hemispherical shade and compact, rounded base crafted from metal and finished in a mirror-like deep black lacquer. The central arm, gently curved, is made of satin-finished brass, with subtle, irregular patina characteristic of aged brass. A small, round switch—likely bakelite or classic vintage plastic—sits atop the base in a matching black tone. The composition is defined by clear, well-balanced proportions and a dialogue of textures: from glossy lacquer to the matte, brushed brass surface. Structural joints remain discreet, keeping the object's profile fluid and unified. The color palette is reduced to deep black, golden brass, and a dark brown power cord.Model 6781 communicates order and functionality typical of Bauhaus—the strong geometry is balanced by artisanal detail in the aged metal. The glossy black shade reflects and doubles the surrounding light, while the satin brass softens the graphic contrast of the forms. Minor signs of age and understated details add historical context, highlighting the gravitas and precision of mid-century German modernism.The 6781 lamp suits placement on a walnut desk or minimalist console, especially in the living room, study, or library. It can be paired with geometric art prints, black-and-white photography, or raw textiles. Combined with brushed metal, transparent glass, and a restrained palette of greys, charcoals, and gold accents, the lamp underlines the historical narrative of the design while enhancing a sense of order within the interior.
