The shade is spun from aluminum and powder coated white, the stem and the 11.8″ base are powder-coated steel, and a chrome toggle switch sits right on the shade. It weighs a reassuring 20 lb and takes one E26 bulb up to 60 W. Every part is 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 Spring Balanced floor lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midgard, 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Articulating spring-balanced floor lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spun aluminum, powder coated, Ø 7.87″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame and base:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powder-coated steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArms:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.5″ and 23.6″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø 11.8″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome toggle switch on the shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket:\u003c\/strong\u003e E26, max 60 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCord:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60″, fabric covered\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 number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e MD-44.6.24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring-balanced, articulating arms hold any position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpun aluminum shade, powder coated white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome toggle switch on the shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy 20 lb steel base, Ø 11.8″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE26 socket, max 60 W; 60″ fabric cord\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\u003eBeside a reading chair or sofa, next to a desk without room for a desk lamp, or over a workbench or easel.

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.
