Vintage Industrial Articulated Black Work Lamp by Curt Fischer for Midgard

About the Item

This vintage articulated work lamp was originally designed by Curt Fisher for Midgard / Industriewerke Auma. To improve lighting in industrial workplaces Midgard developed a range of flexibly adjustable lights from the early 1920s, such as this functional and elegant desk lamp. The lamp has an aluminum lampshade and three adjustable joints - this allows flexible adjustment in all possible directions. The foot of the lamp can be fixed to the wall as well as to a desk or worktop. The lamp was completely disassembled, stripped, de-rusted and then painted in elegant matte black. It has been rewired with new black textile cable for use in US, Europe and Asia.

Modular Typ 505 lamp by Curt Fischer for Midgard, 1960s
By Midgard, Curt Fischer
Located in EVERDINGEN, NL
A TYP 505 wall mounted lamp, based on the iconic TYP 113. This modular lamp was produced with 3 different arm lengths, 3 types of (rotating) lampshades and a choice in type of joints. The lamp is in good condition, rewired and all parts working and rotating. The original lightswitch is also still present and working. Curt Fischer is well known for his innovative designs and still regarded as one of the greatest 20th-century inventors. At the time, just after WW1, recovering from the war, people worked long hours until late in the evening. The then-typical lamps would only cast light from the ceiling, causing the shadow of the worker’s body and head to cast shades over their projects. For an inventor like Curt Fischer, who had transformed horse-drawn coaches into mobile radio...
