KAISER idell™
The first KAISER idell™ lamp KAISER idell™ 6631-T table lamp was presented back in 1936 by the German manufacturer Gebr. Kaiser & Co. Designed by Christian Dell, it has stood as a noble symbol of technical precision and exquisite material selection ever since. The KAISER idell™ range has become especially popular again in connection with the Scandinavian style, where it has become fashionable to decorate your home with distinctive design classics with history. Pay special attention to the special editions launched in early 2019 for the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus movement. The new version of the timeless table lamp is available in mat black or mat gray with brass details that especially complement the Nordic design that continues to be popular worldwide.
Christian Dell
The lamp was designed by German silversmith Christian Dell. This was due to the innovative and revolutionary invention of the ball joint. The concept was quickly patented so that the technique could only be used by Gebr. Kaiser & Co. Today, they still use these ball joints, which have the function that you can loosen the joints and adjust the lamp to your own needs and wishes.
Christian Dell was one of the key figures in the founding of the Bauhaus style. From 1922 to 1925, he headed the Bauhaus metal workshop, developing innovative designs. When he designed the KAISER idell™ table lamp in 1926, it changed design history and the popular lamp became an icon of the Bauhaus period. The lamp was named 'KAISER' from the factory where it was produced, while 'idell' is a combination of the designer's surname and the word 'idea'.
KAISER idell™ and Fritz Hansen
In 2010, furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen acquired the rights to produce KAISER idell™ lamps. The lamp's design values were close to Fritz Hansen's furniture, so it was a natural fit for their collection. As you can see in the selection below, they have since expanded the KAISER idell™ range with floor lamps, wall lights and pendants.
The KAISER idell™ lamp became famous when it appeared in the German detective series Der Kommissar, where it had a place on the desks of the famous TV police officers. That's where it got the nickname 'commissar lamp' from.
