Wagenfeld lamp from the Bauhaus era
The Wagenfeld lamp is one of the most famous lamps of the Bauhaus era. It was designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1900-1990) in 1924. After an apprenticeship in a silverware factory and attending a drawing academy, he joined the world-famous Bauhaus workshop as a journeyman and created the design classic W24, the "Wagenfeld lamp", also known as the "Bauhaus lamp". With his metal and glass designs, Wagenfeld became one of the most important industrial designers of his time.

The WG 24 Wagenfeld luminaire consists of an opal-colored glass dome, the base and column are made of clear glass and the surrounds are made of nickel-plated metal. The metal hemispheres under the base plate give the luminaire its "light-footedness".
The light is manufactured according to the original dimensions and materials from Tecnolumen . All lights are numbered consecutively under the base plate and bear the Bauhaus and Tecnolumen symbols. They are supplied without bulbs.
The Wagenfeld lamp was awarded the German "Gute Form" prize in 1982 and was one of the "Best 200 for the year 2000".
