About the KAISER IDELL

The renowned KAISER idell lamp is characterised by Christian Dell’s ability to create elegant design with the basic hallmarks of Modernism: geometric shapes. Today, KAISER idell is widely recognised as a symbol of noble Bauhaus design, exquisite choice of material and precise engineering. The 6580-F Luxus floor lamp, designed by Dell in 1931, is adjustable in height. The ball-jointed lampshade has an adjustable tilt head for directional lighting.
