About the Collection Tecnolumen Marianne Brandt


The light fixtures by the Bauhaus designer Marianne Brandt best illustrate the design school's timeless aesthetics and functionality. Ball, circle and cylinder are the prevailing shapes, while metal and glass are the materials used.

The light fixtures are now produced by Tecnolumen. The collection includes diverse ceiling lamps and suspensions, each in diverse sizes while other versions are also available.

The DMB 26 ceiling lamp is an opaline glass ball connected to the round ceiling base via three slender rods. The ethereal construction stands in contrast to the glass diffuser's weight and even the larger of the four versions seems to float lightly and unconspicuously in the room. The HMB 27 suspension which is suspended by three slender metallic chains, a both logical and stunning design element, to the ceiling works similarly. In contrast, the HMB 29 suspension utilizes only a simple metallic stem as a ceiling structure, but the glass shade is featured specially. It is composed of two glass balls of different sizes, the upper one in mat and the lower one in shiny white. The transition with a degree and the different surfaces lend the light fixture a lively appeal, but does not impair the design's clearness.

Together with Hans Przyrembel, Marianne Brandt designed the HMB 25 suspension, a metallic light fixture for focussed table illumination. The height-adjustable version is the embodiement of the "form follows function" principle. All elements fulfill an obvious fonction, which is evident at first sight without obscuring the handling with added details. The shapes used are simply cylindrical and round, appropriate, intuitive shapes which are also appealing put together.

Marianne Brandt (1893-1983) who was born in Chemnitz was already a professional painter and sculptor when she started to study at the Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar. She was very successful especially in the metal workshop under the direction of László Moholy-Nagy. Already in 1924 she created her maybe most popular design, the Tee-Extraktkännchen MT 49 tea pot which has not been then produced in series but counts among the most iconic Bauhaus designs. Brandt organized a cooperation with the companies Schwintzer & Gräff and Körting & Mathiesen which started with the production of her and other Bauhaus light fixtures from 1927 and put them on the market. After Moholy-Nagy left the Bauhaus in 1928, Marianne Brandt overtook the direction of the Dessau-based metal workshop. She left the Bauhaus in 1929 and was first the head of a design department in a company producing metallic objects. During her life, Brandt worked as a designer and painter and from 1949 to 1951 taught at the design school of Dresden.
