Original Product Description:

Kaiser idell™ designer table lamp by Christian Dell with a high-gloss surface The Kaiser idell™ table lamp is characterised by the basic shapes of modernism: circle, cylinder and sphere. in 1931, Christian Dell (1893-1974), a German silversmith and teacher of industrial design, who was already working as a foreman in the metal workshop at the Bauhaus in WEIMAR and was known for his innovative designs, designed the Kaiser idell™ series of lamps, which also includes pendant, wall and floor lamps. The asymmetrical lampshade and the ability to swivel 15 degrees to either side make the Kaiser idell™ table lamp a versatile everyday companion. It is ideal for use as a desk lamp, for example. Kaiser Idell™ is manufactured by the Danish company FRITZ HANSEN. The company still bears the name of its founder, a carpenter from Nakskov in Denmark (75% of the company has been owned by Skandinavisk Holding since 1979). He was granted a trading licence for Copenhagen in 1872 and in 1885 set up a furniture-making company that quickly became known for its high quality standards and, in the 1930s, became one of the leading companies in this field by steam-bending beech wood. Pieces by many well-known designers, including Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen and Kaare Klint, characterise the history and success of the company.
