About the Item

Dell, born in 1893 in Offenbach am Main, Germany, first studied as a silversmith at the Weimar Art Academy, which was renamed the Bauhaus in 1919. The Bauhaus was an institution where academically trained master craftsmen could both work and teach in close collaboration with industry. The Bauhaus produced many innovative designs that are still recognized as design icons today. The most famous work of Bauhaus designer Christian Dell is the series of lamps Kaiser Idell.
