Wagenfeld Lamp (Bauhaus Table Lamp)

Both Bauhaus versions of the Wagenfeld lamp side by side: on the left the glass-base model Carl Jakob Jucker and Wilhelm Wagenfeld designed together, on the right the metal-base model Wagenfeld designed alone in 1924. Seeing them together explains the whole idea: a glass dome, a straight column and a flat round foot, nothing else. The glass version leaves its inner rod and pull cord on show through a clear column. The Bauhaus metal workshop made only small runs at first, at least eighty with a metal base and forty-five with glass by the autumn of 1924.
