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\u003eThere is something satisfying about a lamp that shows how it works. Two springs, two arms, a toggle that clicks: the Spring Balanced moves smoothly and stays put, and in white it looks fresh in any room. It is a 1950s design still built in Germany the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavy enough to stay steady, easy to aim with one hand.
