WG 24 Bauhaus Table Lamp

The Wagenfeld WG 24 — "the Bauhaus lamp" — is a timeless icon, originally crafted by Wilhelm Wagenfeld in 1924. TECNOLUMEN produces it in four authentic versions to the original dimensions and materials, each piece numbered and marked with the Bauhaus and TECNOLUMEN logos. Celebrated worldwide, it has featured in the Museum of Modern Art shop collection since 1986.

Few objects embody the spirit of the Weimar Bauhaus as completely as this small table lamp. Wagenfeld created the WG 24 in 1924 as a young designer in the school's metal workshop, and it distilled the movement's credo — industrial materials, elementary geometry, honest construction — into a single luminous object. A circular base, a slender shaft and a hand-blown opal glass dome: nothing decorative, nothing superfluous, every part visible and purposeful. The opal glass softens the bulb into a calm, glare-free glow, which is precisely why the lamp became the everyday face of Bauhaus ideas rather than a museum curiosity. And yet it is also that: the WG 24 is held in major design collections worldwide, and TECNOLUMEN in Bremen produces the authorized re-edition true to the original — the serial number and stamped logos on each lamp are your guarantee of authenticity in a market full of imitations.

In the home, the WG 24 behaves less like a lamp and more like a quiet piece of sculpture that happens to give beautiful light. Its compact footprint — conceived a century ago for modest desks and nightstands — makes it remarkably well suited to today's smaller city apartments, where a single well-chosen object can define an entire room. Place it on a bedside table for soft evening reading light, on a hallway console as a warm welcome, or on a minimalist work desk where its glowing dome takes the edge off screen-lit evenings. It pairs effortlessly with both Bauhaus-era pieces and Scandinavian modern design.
