Schwintzer & Gräff
When the Schwintzer & Gräff company launched the first industrially manufactured examples of the famous WG 24 table lamp by Wilhelm Wagenfeld on behalf of the Bauhaus in 1928, the company could already look back on 64 years of history.
The company's beginnings are humble. After his master craftsman's examination as a tinsmith, Carl Eduard August Schwintzer (1836-1911) founded the Schwintzer & Gräff company together with Wilhelm Gräff in 1864 in a residential building at Stallschreiberstrasse 47 (Berlin-Kreuzberg). This is a plot of land that has two inner courtyards and connects to Sebastianstrasse 18, which then becomes the company's headquarters circa 1871-1872.
In the spring of 1927, a production contract was signed with Schwintzer & Gräff (Berlin). Schwintzer & Gräff took over the serial production of existing lamp models from the Bauhaus. In 1928, 53 Bauhaus lamp models were produced. The collaboration was short-lived, however, because the contract was terminated in 1930, as evidenced by the minutes of the business committee meeting on April 10, 1930: The contract with Schwintzer & Gräff, Berlin for copying the older lamp models was terminated on September 30, 30. After this point, the Bauhaus has the right to manufacture these types again.

Marianne Brandt
Marianne Brandt was a German painter, sculptor, photographer and designer who attended the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. There she became a student of Hungarian modernist theorist and designer László Moholy-Nagy in the metal workshop.
After leaving the Bauhaus, Brandt worked for Walter Adolph Georg Gropius in his Berlin studio. Brandt subsequently became the head of metal design at the Ruppelwerk firm in Gotha, where she remained until losing her job during the ongoing financial Depression in 1932.
After the Second World War, Brandt remained in Germany to help rebuild her family's home, which had been severely damaged in the bombings. She lived out her days in Germany while the Bauhaus was generally reviled as decadent during much of the German Democratic Republic. By the end of her life Brandt had a loyal group of students from her many years as a teacher of design.
Brandt's designs for household objects such as table lamps, ashtrays and teapots are considered the timeless examples of modern industrial design.
