Description

This Bauhaus chrome and glass pendant lamp was based on the original designs of the legendary designer Fritz August Breuhaus de Groot known for his minimalist Bauhaus style. The pendant includes five lights enclosed in glass tubular shades, held by a streamlined chrome frame. This lamp perfectly reflects the straight lines and timeless elegance that are characteristic of Bauhaus.

The Bauhaus school was a German art institution that combined crafts and fine arts, which began in 1919. In 1933, the school was officially closed, suffering persecution from the Nazi party. Despite its brief history, the styles of the Bauhaus school remain some of the most influential in the world, and it is often considered the first school of design. Bauhaus intended to modernize art production and proposed the creation of functional, accessible, minimalist, and aesthetically pleasing products. The style and movement were characterized by simple, linear, and geometrical forms combined with basic industrial colors like white, gray, and beige.

This lamp perfectly exemplifies the Bauhaus style, still hugely popular today in design circles, making it a perfect addition to any home looking to pay homage to historical and timeless designs.
