Marianne Brandt designed this ceiling lamp with an opal glass ball at her metal workshop in Dessau in 1926. The simple, unassuming and timelessly beautiful Bauhaus model became such an instant hit that it was produced in series. The DMB 26 by TECNOLUMEN has an impressively timeless presence, which radiates beautifully in modern and classically furnished interiors.

Technical datasheet

It was created in 1926 by the painter, sculptor, photographer and designer Marianne Brandt, one of the most prominent Bauhaus artists whose designs are now displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the British Museum in London.

DMB 26 features an opal glass ball that appears to float through the room as it scatters its hazy light. The spherical lamp hangs from three 14-cm-short delicate rods attached to a circular base plate. The glass ball comes in different sizes. While the glass is overlaid with opal, the metallic baseplate and rods have different finishes.

The catalog information seems to suggest the metal parts were all made of aluminum. As aluminum quickly oxidizes and becomes unsightly, the lamp now features a nickel-plated or brass-plated surface.
