1920s Bellevue AJ3 Desk Light by Arne Jacobsen

Arne

A very stylish reissue from &Tradition, this Bellevue AJ3 Desk Light by Arne Jacobsen.

Would you believe this dates back to 1929? It does indeed, inspired by modernist designs of the Bauhaus era and itself the inspiration for later Jacobsen designs. For your money, you get a swan-neck design with tubular steel for the frame and a lacquered aluminium shade. Simple, but effective.

Black and white are the colour options, £395 is the price for either.

For sale: 1930 grade II-listed Bauhaus property in The Common, Chipperfield, Herts by E. Maxwell Fry

Bauhaus1

A Bauhaus property in the heart of England? Yes, that's what you get with this 1930s grade II-listed house in The Common, Chipperfield, Herts.

It was designed by E. Maxwell Fry, whose partner was Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, back in 1935, situated in the heart of Chipperfield  village. I suspect, back in the day, it was quite an oddity. In truth, it still is.

Alvar Aalto 75th Anniversary Artek 60 Stools in Bauhaus colours

Posted on | Leave a comment

Bauhaus

By Bauhaus, we mean the German design house, not the vintage goth band. Otherwise these Alvar Aalto 75th Anniversary Artek 60 Stools would all be black.

But no, they're in a red, yellow and blue lacquer to celebrate 75 years since Aalto created this modernist classic. Indeed, it's a design that's still popular and influential today and no doubt will be even more popular with a splash of bold colour.

As you would expect, the stools are still made of birch and are priced a little more than the plain version, £165 each.

Kaiser idell 6631 table lamp by Christian Dell for Fritz Hansen

Posted on | Leave a comment

Idell

This is a bizarre one. Last week, we spotted an interesting Kaiser New Bauhaus lamp on eBay, an early 60s collaboration between Kaiser and  original Bauhaus metal workshop 'master' Christian Dell. Now, today, we've found a brand new reissue from the same team – the Kaiser idell 6631 table lamp by Christian Dell for Fritz Hansen.

The lamp on eBay was a 1960s project, but the 6631 lamp is an original 1930s modernist design for Kaiser, which is now reissued by Fritz Hansen. It is indeed a classic – available in black, ivory, white, red and dark green, the lamps are made in steel and brass and the lampshades are hand painted in high gloss.

It also features a world-patented swivel joint and an 'original Kaiser-idell' label. Price? A less-then-cheap £588.
