Kaiser Idell Table Lamp
6556-T
Price € 689,00
The Kaiser Idell table lamp by Fritz Hansen is one of the most famous creations of the German Christian Dell, one of the leading exponents of the Bauhaus in the lighting sector. The lamps of the Kaiser Idell series, originally designed for the German company Gebr. Kaiser & Co., represent small masterpieces of Modernism, with their geometric shapes of innate elegance and the extensive use of cold and modern materials such as metal. The distinctive element of the series is the dark semicircular cap which hides the light source and diffuses the light downwards. The flagship version of Kaiser Idell is the Luxus 6631-T model, originally designed in 1936 and over time becoming the true symbol of an era, while the 6556-T series presents itself with more minimalist and discreet shapes and a look more technical which makes it perfect for use on a slightly retro desk.

Milestone of danish design, the brand Fritz Hansen gathers in its catalogue some of the biggest classics of the Scandinavian modernim with modern and cutting-edge furniture, signed by some of the most important contemporary designers. In the style of Fritz Hansen furniture, characteristically nordic, the functional approach is tempered by pure and light lines, which make up immediately recognisable silhouettes that have now become part of the collective immagination. Products such as the Egg Chair armchair and Serie 7’s chairs by Arne Jacobsen are now pillars of the history of design.Read more
Designed by
Christian Dell
Christian Dell (1893-1974) was a German silversmith remembered today mainly for his pioneering work in the creation of lamps. From 1922 to 1925 he was responsible for the metallurgy laboratory of the Bauhaus school in Weimar where he had the opportunity to collaborate with László Moholy-Nagy, who was at the head of his department at the time. Among his students he had Wilhelm Wagenfeld, who shortly thereafter designed the most famous and iconic Bauhaus lamp, known today by the name of WG 24. In that period Dell still concentrated his silversmith activity mainly on cutlery and accessories for the table: his first lamp dates back to 1927-1928 and combines a spartan and industrial aesthetic with technical innovations destined to set a precedent, including a spherical joint that allows the lamp arm to rotate 360°. Working on the refinements of this initial idea, Dell will give life to over 500 lamp models over the following decade, of which the most famous remains the Idell series produced by the Kaiser brand and characterized by its softened and refined lines. Dell taught silversmithing from 1926 to 1933 at the Frankfurtr Kunstschule, from which he was later kicked out by the Nazi regime. After the war he instead ran a goldsmith and jewelery shop in Wiesbaden. His Kaiser Idell series, still very popular, is now part of the catalog of the Danish brand Fritz Hansen.
