Gyula Pap (1899–1977) was a Hungarian-born artist and designer who joined the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1920, studying under figures like Johannes Itten and László Moholy-Nagy. His background in painting, lithography, and silversmithing led to modern, precise creations, notably the 1923 Bauhaus floor lamp for the Haus am Horn. Pap later taught at the Itten School in Berlin and became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest, carrying forward the Bauhaus ethos of uniting art and craft. He emphasized clarity and functionality, a signature of his lighting and overall design work. Pap’s influence resonates in contemporary design for its marriage of creative expression and practicality.
