This German table lamp embodies the fundamental principles of the Bauhaus style, a movement that revolutionized European design in the first decades of the 20th century. Its structure, of pure and strictly functional lines, responds to the Bauhaus maxim of uniting form and function without superfluous decorative artifice. The metal folded in clean curves provides a perfect balance between engineering and aesthetics.
