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.

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.
