The WG24 table lamp began as a student exercise: Moholy-Nagy challenged his class to design a light source that used only standard, industrially produced parts. Wagenfeld, working alongside fellow student Carl Jacob Jucker, answered with a circular glass base, a transparent shaft, a chromed metal stem and an opal glass dome — every component visible, every junction honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritics at the time called it cold; Wagenfeld defended it as \"an inexpensive object for mass production.\" A century on, the WG24 is held in the permanent collections of MoMA and the Bauhaus-Archiv, and is widely considered one of the foundational objects of modern industrial design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur reproduction follows the original Wagenfeld specification:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDome shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e handblown opal glass, diffusing the bulb into a soft, even glow with no visible filament.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem:\u003c\/strong\u003e polished chrome-plated metal with a clear glass tube revealing the internal cord — a direct quote of the 1924 design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e tempered glass disk in a soft mint-green tint, weighted for stability on bedside tables and desks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e traditional pull-chain at the socket, in keeping with the period detailing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the dome is handblown, each shade carries minute variations in wall thickness and opacity — the marks of a genuinely hand-finished piece rather than a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.17\" \/ 36 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShade diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\" \/ 18 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\" \/ 15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandblown opal glass dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome-plated metal with clear glass tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTinted mint-green tempered glass disk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBulb socket\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE27 (E26-compatible in US fixtures)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBulb included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7W LED, 680 lumens, 3 color temperatures (warm \/ neutral \/ cool white), dimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSwitch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePull-chain at socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100–240V universal; US, EU, or JP plug fitted to shipping destination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp arrives nearly complete: lift the dome, thread the included LED bulb into the E27 socket, replace the dome, and plug in.

The chrome stem polishes with a dry microfiber cloth; for fingerprints, use a touch of dedicated chrome polish on the cloth rather than directly on the stem.

We include a 7W LED with three color temperatures and dimming built into the bulb. E27 and E26 bulbs are physically interchangeable in this fixture, so US-market LED bulbs will also fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the dome real handblown glass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each opal dome is mouth-blown and finished by hand, which is why slight differences in wall thickness, opacity, and the seam at the rim are visible from piece to piece. These are characteristic of handblown glass and not defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it dim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included LED bulb is dimmable via its built-in three-stage temperature switch (warm \/ neutral \/ cool), and it is also compatible with standard plug-in LED dimmers should you want continuous control. The pull-chain at the socket is the on\/off only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe for bedside use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The weighted glass base keeps the lamp stable on a nightstand, the LED bulb runs cool to the touch, and the opal dome diffuses light evenly so it will not glare directly into your eyes when reading. The pull-chain switch is easy to find in the dark without fumbling for a wall outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does this lamp fit historically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WG24 was designed in 1924 by Wilhelm Wagenfeld at the Bauhaus metal workshop in Weimar, under the direction of László Moholy-Nagy. It is considered one of the earliest and clearest expressions of Bauhaus industrial design principles, and is in the permanent collections of MoMA in New York and the Bauhaus-Archiv in Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree US shipping (typically arrives within 1–2 weeks). 30-day free returns.

After training as an architect in Copenhagen, he worked under Arne Jacobsen — at the time the leading figure of Danish modernism — before opening his own studio in 1955. His most famous piece, the Panton Chair (developed 1959–1968), was the first single-form chair injection-moulded from plastic, and remains a landmark of industrial design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FlowerPot followed in 1968, conceived as a tribute to the optimistic spirit of the late 1960s flower-power movement.

Choose the floor version (55.1\") for a freestanding light beside a sofa or armchair, or to add height in a corner.

The inner surfaces reflect light onto the next shade, and a portion is refracted through the opal glass itself. The light you see is bounced and diffused, never direct, which is why PH lamps feel so warm and easy on the eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bulb does it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard E27 screw base, up to 40W incandescent equivalent. A 7W E27 LED is included. Any E27 LED works; warm-white (2700K) is closest to Henningsen's intent. Smart bulbs (Apple HomeKit, Matter, Philips Hue E27, etc.) drop straight in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it dim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp itself uses an in-line on\/off switch — no dimmer is built in.

In 1951 he travelled to Gifu, a small city on the Nagara River where artisans had folded washi paper and bamboo into chōchin lanterns for centuries. The mayor invited him to help revive the local craft, and Noguchi answered with a new family of light sculptures he called Akari — a Japanese word meaning both \"light\" and \"lightness.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Akari series is still produced by Ozeki \u0026amp; Co. in Gifu using the same hand techniques. Noguchi spoke of Akari less as lamps than as atmosphere — light that dissolves the boundary between object and air. The 1A is where that idea began: the very first Akari, an egg of warm light lifted on three wire legs, made to sit beside you rather than above you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur reproduction is built in the Akari tradition, with materials chosen to read the way Noguchi intended:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade:\u003c\/strong\u003e handmade washi paper stretched over fine horizontal bamboo ribs in the signature egg-shaped lantern form, glowing evenly and warmly when lit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e three slim matte-black steel wire legs that hold the shade just off the surface, keeping the lantern visually afloat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e a black wire loop at the crown, so the lamp can move from nightstand to shelf to floor as easily as a paper lantern should.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiring:\u003c\/strong\u003e a fabric-sheathed cord with an inline switch for easy on and off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach shade is folded and finished by hand.

Noguchi's Akari series, begun in 1951, took the same washi-and-bamboo craft and reshaped it as modern sculpture — meant to be read as light itself rather than a container for a bulb. Our lamp is inspired by the Akari 1A form, the first model of the series; the original line is still produced by Ozeki \u0026amp; Co. in Gifu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big is the 1A — will it work on a nightstand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — bedside duty is exactly what the 1A was made for.
