Art Deco brass table lamp – design world exhibition 1925 Paris (Marcel Breuer)

€ 2.150,00 VAT incl.

This lamp was designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925 for the ‘International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts‘ in Paris. Very beautiful Art Deco / Bauhaus design.

We cannot categorically say in which year this lamp was produced. Years after the exhibition, these lamps were made under license. Given the excellent condition, it is probably a slightly more recent example of this rare lamp. The lamp contains an insignia ‘Marcel Breuer Design 1925 Exposition’ engraved in the base and printed on the textile at the bottom of the base (see photos).

The lamp is in very good condition. A slight discoloration of the nickel-plated brass at the base shows a certain patina, which may indicate that this lamp was produced under license in the 1950s. All you have to do is screw in a lamp (E27 socket) and enjoy.

Marcel Breuer

Born in Hungary in 1902, Marcel Breuer studied at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he later became head of the furniture workshop in Dessau. During this period he revolutionized design with his use of curved steel tubes, most famous in the Wassily chair (1925-1926). In addition to furniture, Breuer also designed a striking collection of lamps, reflecting the Bauhaus commitment to functional and modern aesthetics.

In 1935 he moved to London, where he worked with Walter Gropius, before moving to the United States in 1937. At Harvard he taught and worked with Gropius, eventually setting up his own practice in New York. His architectural career blossomed, leading to iconic projects such as the UNESCO headquarters in Paris (1953) and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (1963).

Breuer’s legacy spans furniture, lighting and architecture and defines modern design with his innovative approach to materials and form.

Marcel Breuer designed some very characteristic lamps for the 1925 design exhibition in Paris.
