About the Item
Bauhaus Porcelain Base and Glass Globe Wall/Ceiling Light, Germany, 1930s
This original Bauhaus-era light fixture from 1930s Germany embodies the core principles of modernist design: functionality, minimalism, and enduring style. It is designed for use on walls and ceilings, showcasing a harmonious blend of form and material that aligns with the Bauhaus philosophy of uniting art, industry, and everyday life.
The fixture features a robust white porcelain base known for its strength, heat resistance, and clean, utilitarian aesthetic. The base is subtly sculpted with two mounting points, providing secure installation and flexibility in orientation, whether positioned vertically or overhead.
The globe is made from smooth opaline glass, offering a soft light diffusion and a warm, even glow. Unlike clear or patterned glass, opaline creates an atmospheric quality that minimizes glare and fosters a comforting ambiance, making it ideal for residential and commercial spaces. Its minimalist spherical shape complements the understated base, resulting in a cohesive and timeless silhouette.
Initially used in public buildings, stairwells, and utility spaces, this fixture's design goes beyond mere functionality. Today, it adds authentic vintage charm and Bauhaus clarity to modern interiors in kitchens, bathrooms, corridors, or contemporary living areas.
With over 12 units available, this model is well-suited for design projects requiring multiple matching fixtures, such as boutique hotels, loft renovations, or architectural restorations. Their versatility and simplicity allow for repetition across a space while maintaining visual harmony.
In excellent vintage condition and fully operational, each fixture has been carefully preserved and represents a significant piece of early 20th-century German design heritage. Subtle, elegant, and highly practical, this Bauhaus light offers a perfect blend of historical authenticity and timeless utility.
The pressed glass globe showcases a distinctive ribbed and cross-hatched texture, beautifying light and enhancing the ambient glow. When illuminated, the world casts a soft, warm radiance while highlighting the elegant symmetry of the glass pattern. The subtle interplay of light and texture adds visual interest without unnecessary ornamentation, staying true to the Bauhaus aesthetic.
Not only is this fixture a functional light source, but it also serves as a historical design element—ideal for those who appreciate vintage industrial style with authentic provenance. These lights are perfect for residential and commercial projects, working beautifully in hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, stairwells, or minimalist living spaces.
There are over 12 items available, making this model an excellent choice for architectural or interior design projects that require consistency across multiple spaces. Whether used as a series or as individual statement pieces, they offer understated sophistication and a sense of design heritage.
In excellent vintage condition, each unit has been carefully preserved and is ready for immediate installation. These Bauhaus fixtures are not just lighting but enduring icons of 20th-century design.
