Buquet Floor Lamp EB 27 STL by Édouard-Wilfrid Buquet for Tecnolumen
About the Item
At 4.29 p.m. on 9th February, 1927 Eduard-Wilfrid Buquet feild his patent for parts of this table lamp, particularly the flexible joints, at the Ministère du Commerce et l'Industrie in Paris. Various versions were produced until the 1940's. Although little is known about Buquet we do know that he produced this lamp himself and probably designed it as well. In his lamp from 1927, Édouard-Wilfrid Buquet interprets the search for balance as a shift in weight. In fact, he describes this poetic shift of light in his patent as a “rotatable light fixture with articulated joints”. In practical terms, this construction allows the light head to be moved into almost any conceivable position by slightly shifting the weights. In addition to the table lamp, Buquet also developed wall and floor lamps according to the same principle. Although the French designer’s Bauhaus-style lamp became a global hit that was highly regarded and mentioned in several publications, little more is known about Buquet and his work. Tecnolumen had to modify certain details for technical reasons, namely the interior of the flexible joints and the stand, which used to be made of wood. Since the small reflector will only take a small holder, they have equipped the lamp with halogen 50 Watt. The transformer is housed in the stand, which is thus made of metal. Virtually all the parts have to be handmade. The brass, which is the metal used, has been finished with a 0.9000 silver coating, and finally brushed to provide a matt surface. The object rose to fame thanks to Lucien Rollin’s Desk of a Technician, made of oak and Swedish birch, which was exhibited alongside the lamp at the Salon of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs in 1929. Buquet’s design was presented to an even greater audience through publications in French magazines in the late 1930s. It became one of the most popular table lamp designs of the Art Deco period and the 1920s, and it was often integrated in the interior designs conceptualised by architects like Le Corbusier, Marcel Breuer, Joubert and Petit, Maurice Barret, Louis Sognot, and Marcel Coard. Buquet designed and produced several variations of the lamp until 1940, although the double-arm version proved to be the most popular due to its functionality. He even designed silver-plated versions. The price of an original lamp was set at $10,000 in 1997. Each lamp is numbered consecutively and bears the TECNOLUMEN signet.

- Bauhaus Floor Lamp BST 23 by Gyula Pap for TecnolumenBy TecnolumenLocated in Los Angeles, CAIn his final year as a Bauhaus student in Weimar, Gyula Pap helped out Georg Muche and the construction department by designing a floor lamp for their experimental house, “Am Horn”. The light source is a special design feature in its own right – an exposed incandescent light bulb with a mirrored dome, which had just been invented at the time. The rays of light are channelled downwards, making the light source appear dark. The light is absorbed and refracted by the etched pane of frosted glass in such a way that it appears to float like a shining layer above the thin, nickel-plated metal tube. This lamp was shown as an example of functional design in the Bauhaus Book...Category

- Bauhaus Floor Lamp BH 23 by TecnolumenBy TecnolumenLocated in Los Angeles, CAWhile we don’t know for sure who designed this sculptural lamp around the year 1923, we do know that the designer had a soft spot for mechanics, as the lamp arm can be aligned with a counterweight. It’s also clear to see that the floor lamp was created during the Bauhaus movement. Its playful form and flexible aura are reminiscent of Oskar Schlemmer’s traditional ballet figures and Marianne Brandt’s clear and delicate lamp designs. BH 23 adds a touch of art to sophisticated rooms. Floor lamp available with nickel-plated metal surface. Each lamp is numbered consecutively and the signet TECNOLUMEN...Category
