Fritz Hansen Kaiser Idell 6718-W wall lamp

The Fritz Hansen Kaiser Idell 6718-W wall lamp by designer Christian Dell is one of the most famous lights of Bauhaus design. The reissued Kaiser Idell 6718-W wall lamp by Fritz Hansen is a typical example of the architecturally rational influence of the Weimar Bauhaus school, founded in Germany in 1919. Crafted for eternity from partially chrome-plated steel and silver-soldered, polished brass, equipped with a solid, globally patented swivel joint connection, and hand-painted in high-gloss or matte lacquer, this world-renowned design classic represents a piece of architectural and art history that will likely never be forgotten due to its unmistakable uniqueness.

Christian Dell, born in 1893 and died in 1974, worked and taught as a silversmith and industrial designer in the metal workshop of the Weimar Bauhaus. Together with sculptor Marianne Brandt, he developed lights intended for industrial production in the typically industrial-rational style but had to abandon his work in 1933 under pressure from the Nazis. His Kaiser Idell lamp, developed for the Kaiser brothers, is among Dell's most famous works.
