Product Description
The Fritz Hansen KAISER idell Wall Lamp captures the essence of Bauhaus functionality through Christian Dell's ingenious scissor-arm design, where industrial innovation meets timeless modernist aesthetics to create the ultimate space-saving lighting solution. This isn't just another wall sconce - the KAISER idell 6718-W represents Dell's mastery of mechanical precision and geometric form, featuring an extendable accordion-style arm that adjusts from 18 to 35 inches while maintaining perfect stability and elegant proportions. The characteristic asymmetrical shade with its distinctive beveled bell shape creates that instantly recognizable Bauhaus profile, while the world-patented swivel bearing connection allows for complete positioning flexibility of both shade and arm. Whether mounted above your desk for focused work lighting, beside your bed for reading, or in the kitchen for task illumination, the KAISER idell delivers precisely directed light that adapts to your needs with signature Germanic engineering excellence.
This wall lamp demonstrates the sophisticated mechanical engineering that Dell perfected during his tenure as foreman of the Bauhaus metal workshop in Weimar from 1922 to 1925. The extendable scissor mechanism operates smoothly and locks securely in any position, while the swiveling shade can be directed upward for ambient lighting or downward for focused task work. The hand-painted steel shade features the embossed "ORIGINAL KAISER-idell" marking that authenticates Dell's original design, while chrome-plated brass components consist of silver-soldered, hand-polished elements ensuring lasting durability. The integrated switch provides convenient operation, and the black textile cable maintains the clean industrial aesthetic while offering flexible hardwired installation options.
Fritz Hansen approaches the KAISER idell scissor lamp from their commitment to preserving revolutionary design while maintaining the exacting craftsmanship standards that made Dell's lighting so influential in modern interiors. Understanding that authentic Bauhaus principles represent more than style - embodying a philosophy of functional beauty through innovative engineering - Fritz Hansen ensures each wall lamp meets the same quality benchmarks established when Dell first combined his silversmith expertise with industrial design innovation. Through faithful reproduction using premium steel, brass, and chrome-plated components, Fritz Hansen guarantees each KAISER idell wall lamp represents an investment in design heritage that brings enduring Bauhaus modernism into contemporary living while serving practical lighting needs with the reliability and sophistication that defines authentic German craftsmanship.
