FRITZ HANSEN Kaiser Idell 6556-T glossy black

Kaiser idell™ design table lamp from Christian Dell with high-gloss finish

The Kaiser idell™ table lamp features the characteristic basic shapes of modernism: circle, cylinder and sphere. In 1931, Christian Dell (1893-1974), a German silversmith and teacher of industrial design, who was already working as a master craftsman of the metal workshop at the Bauhaus Weimar and was known for his innovative designs, designed the Kaiser idell™ lamp series, which also includes pendant, wall and floor lamps.

The asymmetrical shade as well as the swiveling 15 degrees to both sides make the Kaiser idell™ table lamp a versatile everyday companion. For example, it can be used excellently as a desk lamp.

Kaiser idell™ is manufactured by the Danish company FRITZ HANSEN. The company still bears the name of its founder, a carpenter from Nakskov in Denmark (since 1979 the company has been 75% owned by Skandinavisk Holding). He obtained a trading license for Copenhagen in 1872, and in 1885 established a furniture manufacturing company that quickly became known for its high quality standards, and in the 1930s became one of the leaders in the field by steam bending beech wood. Pieces by many well-known designers, such as Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen and Kaare Klint, among others, mark the company's history and success.
