Its trick is simple and satisfying: the shade rotates on a molded Bakelite dome, so with the touch of a finger the beam swings toward the table, the counter or the reading chair. A rotary switch on the dome lets you turn it on at the lamp or from a wall switch. The shade is spun aluminum, in porcelain-enameled colors with a white interior, powder-coated black or cement grey, or left as natural aluminum. It hangs from 9.8 ft of black fabric cord with a matt black canopy, measures 9.4″ high by 7″ across and takes one E27 bulb up to 60 W. It is hardwired to the ceiling and hand assembled in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midgard (Germany, founded 1919)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e K831 pendant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Re-edition by Einsiedler \u0026amp; Rasch, 2014, of a rare 1930s draft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pendant light with swiveling directional shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anthracite Enamelled, Black Matt Powder Coated, Black Enamelled, Green Enamelled, Cement Grey Powder Coated, Natural Aluminum, Pearl White Enamelled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spun aluminum: porcelain enameled color (white inside), powder coated, or uncoated natural aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDome and switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded Bakelite casing with rotary switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.4″ H × Ø 7″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCord:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black fabric covered, 9.8 ft (3 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCanopy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matt black powder-coated steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket:\u003c\/strong\u003e E27, max 60 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwired to a ceiling box with canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany, hand assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem numbers (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e MD-K831P-AN-E, MD-K831P-BK, MD-K831P-BK-E, MD-K831P-GR-E, MD-K831P-GY, MD-K831P-NA, MD-K831P-PW-E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShade swivels on the Bakelite dome to direct the light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven finishes: four enamels, two powder coats, natural aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotary switch on the lamp; also works from a wall switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.8 ft black fabric cord, matt black canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE27 socket, max 60 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand assembled in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a dining table, kitchen island or counter, desk or bedside, alone or in a row.

Midgard was founded in 1919 by the engineer Curt Fischer, who received the world’s first patent for adjustable electric lighting. In 1926, when the Bauhaus moved into its new buildings in Dessau, Midgard lamps chosen by Walter Gropius went into the workshops, studios and Masters’ Houses. Its heritage designs are still made in Germany with original tools and long-standing suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMidgard lamps are built from steel, aluminum and Bakelite to last for decades. Switch off and let the shade cool, then dust with a soft, dry cloth. Enamel and powder coat can take a slightly damp cloth with a drop of mild soap; avoid abrasives and solvents, and keep moisture away from the socket and switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I aim the K831 pendant’s light?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
