Pair of Bauhaus Table Lamps attr. to Christian Dell for Kaiser Idell C. 1930s

About the Item

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. These 1930s desk lamps feature adjustable domed shades, mounted on a cylindrical lacquered base with a chrome stem, embodying the rationalist Bauhaus aesthetic. The asymmetrical shade design allows for directed task lighting, reflecting Dell’s commitment to ergonomics and functionality. The combination of lacquered metal and chrome-plated accents highlights the industrial influences of the period while maintaining an elegant, timeless appeal.
