The lamp was designed by Clara Driscoll, an employee at Tiffany Studios and later head of the design department there. The first idea for the overall Dragonfly type came about in 1898, the first plaster models and then individual lights were produced in April 1899.
The detailed development of the individual model variants was carried out in close cooperation with her artistic colleague Alice Gouvy.
