Bauhaus Pendant Lamp | HMB 25/300 Ni
Architonic ID: 1014076
SKU: HMB 25/300 Ni
Año de Lanzamiento: 1925
Marianne Brandt designed various lamps with Hans Przyrembel. This must have been music to the ears of Walter Gropius, because lamps could be exploited economically to raise much-needed funds for the Bauhaus School. The artists made the lamps at their own workshop, and they were then used at the Bauhaus workshops. One particular example is the hanging lamp known today as HMB 25/300, the height of which can be adjusted using a pendulum and counterweight. Its hemispherical shade is a clear reflection of Marianne Brandt’s signature style.
TECNOLUMEN reproduced the hanging lamps by consulting catalogues containing the exact dimensions and by studying two old models, one of which belonged to the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin. Our studies revealed that various materials and fittings were used with different dimensions. For example, the lampshade was made of aluminium, nickel silver or nickel-plated copper sheet.
We went with the nickel-plated version, because non-anodised aluminium quickly loses its appeal and nickel silver (alpacca) is hardly manufactured anymore. Some of the lamps had a flanged lower edge to give the shade greater stability, because the material wasn’t very thick.
The new lamps have a straight-cut edge (like some of the old models), and the pulley has been faithfully reconstructed like all the other parts. The socket and black covered cable are the only parts that have been changed to comply with modern requirements.
Both versions (screen diameters 300mm and 500mm) are available with and without roller pull, in the surface polished and nickel-plated aluminum.
Each lamp is numbered consecutively and bears the TECNOLUMEN / BAUHAUS logo.

Germany
Marianne Brandt (née Liebe) (1893–1983) was a pioneering German designer and one of the most influential figures of the Bauhaus movement. Trained initially as a painter, she joined the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1924 and soon became a leading student in the metal workshop, an area dominated by men at the time. Under the mentorship of László Moholy-Nagy, Brandt's innovative designs in metalwork — particularly her teapots, lamps, and ashtrays — came to embody the functional and minimalist aesthetics of the Bauhaus. Her iconic teapot design, created in 1924, is celebrated for its geometric purity and remains a landmark of 20th-century industrial design. Brandt later became the head of the Bauhaus metal workshop, making her one of the first women to lead a workshop at the school. Beyond her Bauhaus contributions, Brandt worked as a designer for the metalware company Ruppelwerk and later engaged in teaching and visual arts. Her legacy lies in her commitment to combining functionality with elegant simplicity, which helped shape modern industrial design and challenged gender norms within the field.
