midgard K831 pendant light, natural aluminium

K831 pendant light with adjustable lampshade - re-edition of a historic light The K831 pendant light proves that even a design that is around a century old can be bang up to date. The original design from 1929 is a concept by Curt Fischer (1890 - 1956), who is regarded as the inventor of "steerable light". Joke Rasch and David Einsiedler are responsible for the new edition; the designers now run midgard, a company founded by Curt Fischer in 1919, where the light is handcrafted at the production site in Hamburg. The result is a high-quality pendant light that shines with its versatile combinability and functional details. The lampshade is a metal truncated cone that is open at the bottom and can be rotated at the upper dome made of black Bakelite. This allows the light cone to be orientated as required, for example to the left or right side of a long table. There is also a rotary switch that enables immediate operation directly on the light without having to go to the wall switch. External switching and dimmable operation is still possible (when the switch on the light is switched on). The suspension consists of a textile cable and a round steel canopy in black.
