This original Bauhaus industrial desk lamp, produced by German manufacturer Molitor Novum in the 1920s, captures the essence of functionalism and minimalism inherent to the movement. The body is crafted from lacquered steel in a deep, matte red, set on a heavy cast iron base for stability. The arm and lampshade, mounted on joints with visible screws, offer adjustable tilt. A distinctive rectangular shade with rounded edges and a geometric, slightly curved arm are complemented by exposed construction details, emphasizing the industrial character. The lamp features a twisted yellow textile power cord, an ebonite E27 socket, and a switch mounted on the arm near the base. It can also be wall-mounted as a sconce, thanks to a dedicated hook. The surface shows abrasions and small losses of lacquer, with exposed metal typical for authentic period pieces. Preserved in good condition with original paint and detailing (except for updated wiring), the lamp displays only age-appropriate signs of use and patina, with no major damages.This lamp speaks in the voice of 1920s German Bauhaus: its honest form and bold red recall a time when function and structure became an aesthetic in
