For more than 40 years the name TECNOLUMEN has stood for lamps with strong character and timeless design. Our focus here is on originals from the Bauhaus era. This is what makes TECNOLUMEN unique worldwide. Decorative lamps, following the same functional design principle, round off the program.
Some things in life happen unexpectedly. And sometimes something that is supposedly unimportant goes on to become something really big. When Walter Schnepel came across early woodcuts by the artist Wilhelm Wagenfeld in 1976, he knew nothing about a lamp that would lay the foundation for his company TECNOLUMEN.
When Wilhelm Wagenfeld designed his table lamp in the Bauhaus workshop following a task issued by Moholy-Nagy, the requirement was clear: the result should be an industrial product, i.e. one that could be mass-produced by a machine. And the material and design vocabulary actually correspond to the idea of the machine age. Only, manufacturing reality was different. WA 24 was produced as a mini-series for the 1924 Leipzig Autumn Fair in handmade concentrated and elaborate craftsmanship. And this is still the case today.
