TYP 113 Clamp Lamp

This quintessential Midgard lamp was Curt Fischer's first design in 1919. Articulating, positionable table clamp lamp providing direct illumination of work surface with satisfying new old stock from the early 20th century bakelite switch on shade. Enameled rotating bias-cut shade in black.

Midgard, a remarkable German lighting manufacturer founded in 1919 held the first patents for the adjustable light. The TYP 113 is of particular importance as Walter Gropius, a committed fan, adopted it for the Bauhaus school, adding them to the classrooms, atelier, and faculty housing at the Dessau School.

In celebration of their 100 year anniversary, Midgard chose to produce a limited run of 100 pieces of the TYP 113, using original techniques and materials. In collaboration with Thonet, who partnered to bend the nickel-plated steel arms, thoughtful attention is given to craftsmanship to produce a truly special heirloom piece for home or office.
