Bauhaus Lamp Wagenfeld

The magic of frozen light

Professor Wilhelm Wagenfeld was fascinated by "the magic of frozen light". What he meant by this is shown by the dome of his timelessly elegant table lamp. The Wagenfeld lamp, which has won several awards, was designed in 1924 by the then 24-year-old Bauhaus journeyman in the workshop of the Weimar Bauhaus.

It follows the design principle "form follows function" and is considered an icon of modern industrial design. As an outstanding example of modern product design, it was included in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

"To be useful is to be beautiful"

Wilhelm Wagenfeld

One of the most important German product designers, inventor of the famous Bauhaus lamp and many other beautiful things. A wonderful person who liked to pass on his knowledge.

One of his first designs became his most famous: a simple shade made of opal glass, the shaft made of nickel-plated steel - Wagenfeld's Bauhaus lamp WA24 is one of the design icons.

The Wagenfeld Lamp

A Timeless Bauhaus Icon by Wilhelm Wagenfeld

The Wagenfeld Lamp, also known as the Bauhaus lamp, is one of the most famous design objects of the 20th century. Created in 1924 by Wilhelm Wagenfeld at the Bauhaus school in Weimar, this masterpiece represents the Bauhaus principles of form, function, and craftsmanship in perfect harmony. Every curve, material, and proportion of this lamp speaks the universal language of modern design.

Designed at the Bauhaus School – Weimar, 1924

Wilhelm Wagenfeld designed this table lamp as part of an assignment under Bauhaus master László Moholy-Nagy. True to the philosophy of the Bauhaus, the lamp was meant to be produced industrially – yet it embodies artisanal precision and elegance. Its cylindrical glass base and hemispherical shade are reduced to the essential, free from all ornament – a pure Bauhaus statement.
