About the Item

This ceiling light is an authentic example of Bauhaus avant-garde lighting design from the early 1930s. Its construction combines a chrome-plated brass framework with a glass shade that carries an avant-garde geometric motif. The reduced yet experimental design reflects the innovative spirit of Bauhaus modernism, where functionality and progressive aesthetics were brought into balance. With its elongated vertical suspension and ring-shaped light element, the lamp embodies both structural clarity and decorative abstraction. Original pieces of this kind remain significant documents of interwar modernism and stand as rare survivals of avant-garde design culture.
