Product Description
The Fritz Hansen KAISER idell Table Lamp represents the essence of Bauhaus design philosophy, where Christian Dell's 1936 masterpiece continues to exemplify the movement's core principles of functional beauty and geometric precision through its iconic asymmetrical shade and adjustable head. This isn't just another desk lamp - the KAISER idell stands as the undisputed symbol of noble Germanic design that seamlessly blends Dell's silversmith expertise with precise industrial engineering. The characteristic embossed dome marked "ORIGINAL KAISER-idell" creates that instantly recognizable profile, while the compact proportions make it perfect for desks, windowsills, bedside tables, or any space requiring focused task lighting. Whether illuminating your workspace, providing reading light, or serving as a sculptural accent piece, the KAISER idell delivers precisely directed illumination with signature Bauhaus sophistication.
What makes this table lamp extraordinary is Dell's ingenious world-patented swivel joint system that allows the shade to pivot up to 180 degrees - a technical innovation that was exclusive to the idell series and remains the hallmark of authenticity today. The hand-painted steel shade can be tilted from 15 to 18 degrees for optimal light positioning, while the chrome-plated brass elements consist of silver-soldered, hand-polished components that ensure lasting quality. At just 17 inches high with an 8-inch diameter shade, the lamp fits perfectly in smaller spaces without sacrificing presence or functionality. The on/off switch conveniently located on the base provides easy operation, while the 79-inch black textile cord offers flexible placement options.
Fritz Hansen approaches the KAISER idell legacy from their commitment to preserving iconic design while maintaining the exacting standards that made Dell's original so revolutionary. The name itself - combining "Kaiser" from the original manufacturer Gebr. Kaiser & Co. and "idell" from Dell's surname plus "idea" - reflects the innovative thinking that keeps this lamp relevant for contemporary living. Through faithful reproduction using premium steel, brass, and chrome-plated components, Fritz Hansen ensures each KAISER idell represents more than just task lighting - it's an investment in design history that brings the enduring principles of Bauhaus modernism into daily use while serving practical lighting needs for generations to come.
