Bauhaus icon · Form follows function

Masterpiece object: Bauhaus Wagenfeld lamp

The Bauhaus lamp by Wilhelm Wagenfeld is regarded as one of the clearest examples of modern design. It brings together what made Bauhaus world-famous: reduction and light as a cultural element.

Wagenfeld did not want to design a “beautiful object”, but an everyday item that becomes beautiful through its function. A glass globe that softly illuminates the room. A base so disciplined and restrained that it supports the form without pushing itself into the foreground. No ornament, no effects – just clear necessity.

On the Masterpiece journey, you first encounter the Wagenfeld lamp as an iconic original at the places where modernity was conceived and built. Over the course of the tour it becomes part of your own story – an authentic Bauhaus object that you take home at the end.

  • Created in the Bauhaus context of the 1920s
  • Design principle: light as function – not decoration
  • Original licensed product, produced almost unchanged to this day
  • Symbol of clarity, material culture and craftsmanship
  • Original production licensed through TECNOLUMEN.

The Bauhaus lamp stays with you long after the journey: as an everyday light object and as a reminder of architecture, history and a culture that changed the world.

Through this lamp, your connection to Bauhaus remains vivid and tangible.

Your Wagenfeld moment on the journey

The moment you receive the lamp is one of the defining highlights of the Masterpiece Tour. An original Bauhaus object becomes yours and part of your personal design world.

  • Fixed component of every Masterpiece booking
  • Handover as a staged “Masterpiece Moment”
  • Introduction to material, design and historical context
  • Delivery via our authorised partner network
