h2>Exclusive Midgard TYP 113 Limited Edition Articulating Clamp Lamp
Midgard, a well - known German lighting brand established in 1919 by Curt Fischer, was the pioneer holding the first patents for adjustable lights. The TYP 113 is truly significant as Walter Gropius, an enthusiastic supporter, introduced it to the Bauhaus school. It was installed in classrooms, ateliers, and faculty housing at the Dessau School. Pre - war photos and films show the TYP 113 not only in Germany but also in the US after faculty members made the trans - Atlantic journey.
To mark its 100 - year anniversary, Midgard produced a limited run of just 100 pieces of the TYP 113. They used traditional techniques and materials, and collaborated with Thonet to bend the nickel - plated steel arms. This attention to craftsmanship makes it a unique heirloom for your home or office.
In the 1910s, inventor and designer Curt Fischer focused on enhancing factory lighting. After talking to workers, he found that overhead lights created shadows on work surfaces. So, he designed and patented the first articulating lamp. This adjustable table lamp also offers an optional asymmetrical rotatable shade to prevent direct light from hitting your eyes.
