Bauhaus table lamp WG24 Wilhelm Wagenfeld

This table lamp designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld in 1924 is often referred to as the "Bauhaus light". Due to the dome-shaped lampshade made of white opal glass, evenly soft light is released to the surroundings.

At the age of 23, Wagenfeld was taken up as a journeyman in the state Bauhaus in Weimar and a year later designed this classic among the lights after a study task of the head of the metal workshops, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. In the opinion and self -image of Wagenfeld, designs of the state Bauhaus should be industrial products and look accordingly. In fact, however, they were handmade - so today everything is made by hand work in the edition of this luminaire of Tecnolumen authorized by Wagenfeld only according to the original information regarding dimensions and material.

This also sees the continuous numbering of the lights in conjunction with the Bauhaus and Tecnolumen sign as a homage to this unique design. "The Bauhaus light" is considered a masterpiece that illustrates the philosophy of the Bauhaus and documents the turn of Tecnolumen to this type of design.

The Wagenfeld-Lucht was awarded the design award of the Federal Republic of Germany "good form" in 1982 and is one of the "best 200 designs for the year 2000".
