To highlight such elegant lines, each piece is made from a combination of steel and brass hand-painted in a gloss of shiny black, ivory, white or matt-black.Foreman of the metal workshop at the Bauhaus in Weimar - one of the first and most influential design schools of the 20th Century - silversmith and designer Christian Dell oversaw a number of innovative early designs that emerged from the fledgling institution.Released in 1936, his Idell Luxus tablelamp was produced by German lighting manufacturers Gebr. Kaiser & Co and soon became a best-seller.To ensure that this lineage continues, Danish manufacturers Fritz Hansen have kept the lamps original title - 'Idell' standing for the designers name while 'Kaiser' refers to the original manufacturer.
