Bauhaus Table Lamps by Wagenfeld and Jucker

• Bauhaus - Bauhaus refers to design concepts that originated at the German art school of the same name that was founded in 1919 by architect Walter Gropius. The school was based on the principles of modernist design, and sought to bridge the gap between art and industry by teaching students how to create functional and aesthetically pleasing designs for mass production.
  
  Bauhaus had a significant impact on modern design and architecture, and is widely considered to be one of the most influential art schools of the 20th century. The school's approach to design emphasized simplicity, functionality, and the use of new materials and technologies. Bauhaus designers sought to create clean, uncluttered designs that were free from unnecessary ornamentation.
  
  Bauhaus had a strong influence on a wide range of artistic fields, including architecture, furniture design, typography, and graphic design. Some of the most iconic examples of Bauhaus design include the Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe, the Bauhaus Building in Dessau by Walter Gropius, and the typography of Herbert Bayer.
  
  Bauhaus was active from 1919 until 1933, when it was forced to close by the Nazi government. However, the school's ideas and principles continue to be influential in design and art to this day.
