Typ 113 Peitsche Table Lamp By Curt Fischer For Midgard Circa 1940s - Curved adjustable arm with its original grey paint - Angled steel shade in original brown paint - Takes E27 fitting bulbs - Designed by Curt Fischer - Typ 113 the "Peitsche" (whip) - German ~ 1940s - 75cm tall x 16cm wide Curt Fischer/Midgard Midgard was founded in 1919 in Auma / Thuringia by the engineer Curt Fischer.

Curt Fischer sketched and manufactured first prototypes of articulated lamps by passing the live cable through tubes and developing articulations between the tubes. He perfected the system, developed many multi-armed desk lamps, work lamps and wall lamps. Within few years he turned to be a luminaire manufacturer which he called Midgard (as the Norse Mythology called the bright Middle Earth inhabited by people).
