FRITZ HANSEN Kaiser Idell 6556-F glossy black

Design floor lamp Kaiser idell™ with glossy surface

This floor lamp, designed by Christian Dell, is a typical representative of the legendary Bauhaus style and combines the classic elements of modernism - sphere, cylinder and circle. It was released in 1931, is equipped with the patented swivel shade designed for this series of lamps and fits into many interior styles with its aesthetic look.

Christian Dell (1893-1974), a German silversmith and designer who was also a workshop master at the metal workshop in the Bauhaus Weimar, designed true cult objects in Bauhaus design with the Kaiser idell™ lamp series, a design style that enjoys unbroken popularity.

This beautiful floor lamp is nowadays produced by the Danish company FRITZ HANSEN, whose origins go back to 1872, when the carpenter Fritz Hansen from Nakskov received a trading license for Copenhagen. He continued to expand his company and, thanks to the quality maxims he and his son Christian pursued, achieved a high reputation that brought him important orders in the first fifty years, such as the furnishing of the University Library, the Copenhagen City Hall and much more.

In 1979, Skandinavisk Holding took over 75% of the shares in the company, which until then had been run purely by the family. Through innovation and expansion, FRITZ HANSEN became known beyond Denmark in the following decades. In 2015, the company acquires the Danish lighting company Lightyears, whose design philosophy reflects that of FRITZ HANSEN.
