About the Item
A modernist brass Bauhaus style lamp, often attributed to, but certainly inspired by the Bauhaus designs in general and this particular design is often attributed to Marcel Breuer. The lampshade is adjustable in height, using a wheel at the shaft, which enables to adjust the light intensity on the surface below. On the base the lamp is marked: ''Staatliches Bauhaus Weimar''. The lampshade itself can also turn sideways.
This 1970s lamp is a quite heavy, well made piece in good condition with few signs of wear. It works with one E27 lightbulb. Wiring is according to EU standards, this will have to be changed for US and UK.
About the Bauhaus School:
In 1919, Walter Gropius opened the Bauhaus in Weimar with a radical teaching approach. Four years passed before the first exhibition took place, which conveys a new approach to art to the enthusiastic public and carries the school’s ideas all over the world.
The first public appearance was accompanied with the catalogue Staatliches Bauhaus Weimar 1919–1923. With the help of this interdisciplinary catalogue, the idea and potential of the Bauhaus found its way onto paper for the first time. In addition to numerous project presentations, the theoretical approaches of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Gertrud Grunow convey the teaching methods of the various masters. Gropius’ preface traces the structure of the school and presents the unique reform approach that demands and teaches the unity of technology and art. The illustrations from the preliminary course and the various workshops provide insights into training and production at the Bauhaus.
About Marcel Breuer
Marcel Breuer has had an enormous influence on designs for furniture and interiors. Trained at the Bauhaus, with its emphasis on knowledge of materials, the young Breuer brought to his work a vital originality of conception and freedom of mind. His invention of tubular-steel furniture, uniquely suited to the modern interior and to modern methods of mass production, was revolutionary setting off a tremendous burst of creativity in the world of design. His experiments with aluminum and plywood were basic contributions to the development of contemporary furniture.
