Midgard licht - founded 1919 by curt fischer - inventor of adjustable lighting - produces its lighting collection AYNO, K831, spring balanced, TYP 113 and midgard modular lighting system until today on original tools in germany.
Midgard lamps are defined by their superior functionality, quality and design and have many admirer. amongst them walter gropius who used midgard lamps for his private use as well as the bauhaus.
On the occasion of midgards 100 year anniversary the lenklampe TYP 113, which the bauhaus has been equipped with, is manufactured again.
With AYNO, the first design of a new midgard lamp since the 1950s, the industrial designer stefan diez is testing the boundaries between origin and status quo of adjustable lighting. the collaboration between midgard licht and designer stefan diez manifests midgard’s spirit of invention. radically reduced to the essentials, AYNO meets all requirements of design, technology and sustainability.
The re-edition of the K831is based on a rare draft from the 1930s. A swiveling shade allows to direct the ligth cone flexible where needed. All parts are made in germany and the lamp is manually assembled in hamburg.
Midgard modular is based on midgard's well-known TYP 113 and TYP 114 adjustable lamps, with which, among others, the many spaces in the bauhaus have been equipped. Midgard, leaded by curt fischer, developed this modular draft into a lighting system during the 1920s to answer all needs of lighting within private and public life.
The most famous draft of midgard is the'peitschenleuchte‘, TYP 113, which is one of the very first serial produced adjustable lamps of the world. When the bauhaus moves into its new buildings in dessau in 1926, midgard's TYP 113 are among the fixtures. masters and students alike find their precise, machine-like aesthetic both modern and motivating.
Soon midgard was also showcased in the most significant architectural exhibitions: from the weißenhof estate and the accompanying ‘die wohnung’ exhibition in stuttgart (1927), ‘wohnung und werkraum’ in wroclaw (1929), the exhibition of the deutsche werkbund in paris (1930) and the ‘deutsche bauausstellung’ in berlin (1931).
When walter gropius, hannes meyer and lyonel feiniger left the bauhaus and, soon after, germany, they took their midgard TYP 113 with them. meyer took it to russia, gropius to lincoln (massachusetts) and feininger to new york. laszlo moholy-nagy used the lamp to illuminate his director’s desk at the new bauhaus in chicago – as can be seen in pictures from the time.
For midgard´s 100th anniversary, the TYP 113 is manufactured again by using original techniques and materials with no industrial / serial production method included in a first limited edition of 100 numbered pieces.
