Kaiser Idell Table Lamp

A black Kaiser Idell desk lamp by Christian Dell, with a domed shade on a curved neck and a heavy round foot. Dell led the Bauhaus metal workshop before designing lamps for Gebrüder Kaiser, the manufacturer that gave the series its name. The factory's first catalog, published in 1936, featured the 6631 Luxus. This is the working-desk counterpart to the Wagenfeld lamp: plain painted metal with the emphasis on the shape of the shade.
