About the Item
In the design annals of 1960s Sweden, Klaus Michalik's "Bau" wall lamp stands as an iconic embodiment of mid-century modern creativity and innovation. Crafted in collaboration with the renowned Finnish producer, Stockmann Orno, this lamp seamlessly melds form and function.
Michalik's ingenuity is evident in the use of brass and white glass, a classic Scandinavian pairing that not only exudes timeless elegance, but also captures the essence of the era's design ethos. This "Bau" lamp boasts a distinctive dual structure with two separate half-sphere shaped glass shades, casting a warm, ambient glow. The choice of materials reflects Michalik's commitment to quality, with brass backplates and shade holders contributing to the lamp's sleek and minimalist dualist aesthetic. However, the allure of this "Bau" lamp lies not only in the materials and aesthetic appeal, but also in the pragmatic design that allows for versatile illumination. The play of brass and glass not only adds a touch of opulence but also ensures durability and longevity. The clever design makes it appear like the lamp was halved and is now connected by the brass rod in the middle. This makes for a neat optical effect, creating a sense of magnetism that draws each half towards the other. Klaus Michalik's legacy endures through this masterpiece, showcasing the enduring charm of 1960s Swedish design. The craftsmanship complements Stockmann Orno A.B., a major lighting factory, founded in 1921 in Helsinki, Finland. In 1936, Stockmann became the owner of Orno and the company moved to Kerava in 1937. As a stalwart in the Scandinavian design scene, the company played a pivotal role in bringing Michalik's vision to life.
The collaboration between Michalik and Stockmann Orno underscores the synergy between visionary designers and skilled manufacturers during the golden mid-century era of design in Sweden. This lamp has a true design edge that is timeless and is compatible with any style and space.
