We are currently offering two popular lighting designs of William Wagenfeld.
Born in Bremen, Germany, industrial designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld was a towering force in the Bauhaus movement. Training in the Weimar metal workshops under Christian Dell and László Moholy-Nagy, he co-created the iconic WA 24 "Bauhaus Lamp"—a masterpiece of steel and glass that proved everyday objects could be elevated into high art. Though his meticulous craftsmanship extended to typewriters, teapots, and kettles, his career weathered intense historical turbulence, including time spent in a Soviet prisoner-of-war camp.
Following the war, Wagenfeld served as a professor in Berlin, won the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale, and founded his own influential Stuttgart studio in 1957. Driven by the philosophy that practicality is the truest form of beauty, he used the principle of "less is more" to create efficient, radically simple products. He famously designed items affordable enough for the working class, yet so beautifully engineered that the wealthy could not resist them. Today, his democratic approach to luxury is celebrated globally, with his work preserved in the Wilhelm Wagenfeld House and the permanent collection at MoMA in New York.
