Within a few years Gropius had specified his lamps for the new Bauhaus in Dessau, and Breuer, Albers and Moholy-Nagy worked under them. A century on, the same family of lamps is built in Germany on the original tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wall lamp that does a job. The 555 swings out over the desk when you need it and tucks back when you don’t, with the same mechanical honesty as Midgard’s 1920s originals. The Bakelite switch on the head is a small pleasure every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWired in once, adjusted daily.
