TECNOLUMEN® BST 23 Metal floor lamp

In his final year as a Bauhaus student in Weimar, Gyula Pap helped out Georg Muche and the construction department by designing a floor lamp for their experimental house, “Am Horn”.‎ The light source is a special design feature in its own right – an exposed incandescent light bulb with a mirrored dome, which had just been invented at the time.‎ The rays of light are channelled downwards, making the light source appear dark.‎ The light is absorbed and refracted by the etched pane of frosted glass in such a way that it appears to float like a shining layer above the thin, nickel-plated metal tube.‎ This lamp was shown as an example of functional design in the Bauhaus Book No.‎ 7, “New Work at the Bauhaus Workshops”, published in 1925.‎ The only original model was exhibited at the experimental house known as “Am Horn” and has sadly been lost.‎ Our reproduction is based on a photo and a detailed drawing by Prof.‎ Gyula Pap.‎ Although no serial parts could be used for the production, with the exception of the socket and cable, all original dimensions were strictly adhered to.‎ Special tools had to be built, and metal parts had to be twisted and refined to faithfully recreate the original design and appearance of the floor lamp.‎ Floor lamp made of black lacquered iron, nickel-plated brass, frosted glass.‎ Each lamp is numbered consecutively and bears the TECNOLUMEN / BAUHAUS logo.‎ Recommended illuminant: LED filament 8 W, clear
