This edition is made the slow way: 100% by hand in Germany with the original 1920s tooling, its stem of polished nickel-plated steel hand formed by the furniture maker Thonet, its shade spun from aluminum and enameled black. The bias-cut shade rotates, and the arm articulates so you can put light exactly on the work surface. The ceramic bulb housing and the Bakelite on\/off switch on the shade are genuine new old stock found in the original factory. The lamp clamps to tabletops 0.8″ to 2.0″ thick and each one is numbered 1 to 100.\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 TYP 113\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curt Fischer, around 1923\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Articulating clamp-on table lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each lamp is numbered 1 to 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotating bias-cut shade, spun aluminum, enameled black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished nickel-plated steel, hand formed by Thonet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e New-old-stock early-20th-century Bakelite switch on the shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulb housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e New-old-stock ceramic, found in the original factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.84″ L × 7.87″ W × 31.5″ H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp fits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tabletops 0.8″ to 2.0″ thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket:\u003c\/strong\u003e E27, 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, 100% handmade on original 1920s tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e MD-TYP113\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Bauhaus design by Curt Fischer, around 1923\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbered edition of 100, 100% handmade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel-plated steel stem hand formed by Thonet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating bias-cut shade, spun aluminum, black enamel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew-old-stock Bakelite switch and ceramic bulb housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamps to tabletops 0.8″–2.0″ thick; E27, max 60 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA writing desk, drafting table, architect’s studio or reading corner where you want precise task light and a real piece of design history.

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.
