About: “Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1900–1990) was one of the most important German industrial designers of the 20th century and a key figure in the Bauhaus movement. He studied at the Bauhaus vocational school in Weimar, where he designed his most famous work as an apprentice in 1924: the Wagenfeld table lamp. He was a master of working with glass and metal. In addition to lamps, he designed numerous household items, such as the famous stackable "Kubus" glassware set.”
