1930s Bauhaus - Kandem Model 745 - Table lamp - Körting & Mathiesen design - Steel

Kandem Bauhaus Workshop Table Lamp – Model 745 (1930s, Leipzig, Germany) The iconic Kandem Model 745 table lamp—an authentic 1930s production by Körting & Mathiesen, Leipzig—stands as a landmark of Bauhaus industrial lighting. Developed in the Kandem design studios under the artistic leadership of Marianne Brandt and Hin Bredendieck, this model reflects the Bauhaus ethos: rational geometry, functional engineering, and material honesty. Originally designed as a workshop and architect’s desk lamp, the 745 features a curved tubular metal arm, an adjustable conical shade, and a porcelain E27 fitting. Its sculptural simplicity and industrial character make it one of the most sought-after Bauhaus lighting designs worldwide—equally compelling as a functional desk lamp or as a curated design object.
