Kaiser Idell
The work lamp with a conical shade and jointed arms, designed for industry by a Bauhaus master.
Christian Dell was master of the Bauhaus metal workshop in 1922–25 and afterwards designed lamps for industry. The Idell series for Kaiser became one of the most widespread work lamps of the inter-war years.
The lamp exists as table, wall and floor models. It is protected by copyright, so only a drawing is shown.
Materials: Lacquered sheet steel, chromed brass
Manufacture: Made by Gebrüder Kaiser & Co. in Neheim from the 1930s in many variants.
