This rare pair of Bauhaus desk lamps, designed by Christian Dell for Kaiser Idell, exemplifies the streamlined modernist principles that defined Dell’s work in the early 20th century. As a pioneering designer and master metalworker, Dell played a crucial role in shaping the Bauhaus School’s approach to industrial design, where he led the metalworking workshop from 1922 to 1925. His innovative approach to functional, minimalist lighting culminated in the Kaiser Idell series, a line of lamps known for their precision engineering, sleek geometry, and use of high-quality materials.
