Lindner Leuchten - Wilhelm Wagenfeld - Wall lamp - Model 6065 - Porcelain, Opaline glass

Set of 2 Wilhelm Wagenfeld wall lamps – Lindner Leuchten – Model 6065 – Bauhaus – circa 1958/1960

Very beautiful and characteristic set of two vintage wall lamps, model 6065, designed by the famous German Bauhaus designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1900–1990) for Lindner Leuchten, Germany.

Model 6065 is attributed to Wagenfeld and Lindner in specialized design sources. The design is dated by various sources to around 1958, while VNTG lists the model as a circa 1960s version. Therefore this set is offered as a design from circa 1958, produced around the end of the 1950s / 1960s.

The design is a superb example of Wagenfeld’s functionalist design philosophy: clear, simple and functional, without superfluous decoration. The flowing, almost capsule-shaped form gives the lamps a particularly sculptural appearance at the same time.

Each lamp consists of a white glazed porcelain/ceramic wall mount with an elongated shade made of milky white opal glass. When the lamp is lit, the opal shade glows nicely and evenly, producing a pleasant diffused light.

Due to their compact size and timeless form, these lamps are especially suitable to be placed on either side of a bathroom or wall mirror. Of course, they also work well in an entrance hall, bedroom or in a modern, Bauhaus, Scandinavian or Mid-Century interior.

Both porcelain holders are stamped on the back with a round factory mark and the designation “250 V 282”. The corresponding markings on both units support that this is a matched set. The designation 282 is not listed here as a model number; the documented design is referred to as model 6065.
