FRITZ HANSEN Kaiser Idell hanging light 6631-P, black, matt

Kaiser idell™ pendant light with matt lacquered finish Since its first edition in 1931, this pendant light has become a true design classic. Back then, German designer Christian Dell created a series of lights that are now manufactured by FRITZ HANSEN, the Danish lighting company founded in 1872, which was 75% acquired by Skandinavisk Holding in 1979 after being family-owned for a long time. Kaiser idell™ is designed in the legendary Bauhaus style and suits many contemporary interior styles. The beautiful pendant light with its wide lampshade made of matt lacquered steel is ideal for area lighting, e.g. above a dining table, as well as for general lighting in a room. The creator of the timelessly beautiful Kaiser idell™ series of lights, Christian Dell, comes from Germany. Born in Offenbach in 1893, he trained as a silversmith in Hanau from 1907 to 1911 and attended the drawing academy there. He then studied at the Saxon School of Arts and Crafts in Weimar under Henry van de Velde. From 1922 to 1925, he was master craftsman at the metal workshop at the Bauhaus in Weimar. In 1926, he became director of the Frankfurt Art School. Even at that time, he stood out for his highly innovative design style. From 1926 onwards, he devoted himself to lighting design and primarily produced designs for the company Gebr. Kaiser & Co. His work was considered groundbreaking at the time. Since 1872, the manufacturing company Fritz Hansen has been synonymous with outstanding designs and high-quality craftsmanship.
