Story
BST 23
Designer
Designed by Gyula Pap
Gyula Pap was a Hungarian painter, lithographer, silversmith and teacher who joined the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1920.
In his final year as a student he designed the BST 23 floor lamp in the metal workshop, made for the experimental Haus Am Horn that Georg Muche and the building department were putting up. A counterweight balances the slim stem, so the lamp stands without a heavy base.
It went into series production only decades later, when Tecnolumen took it up.

About Tecnolumen
A Bremen workshop founded in 1980, Tecnolumen is the only licensed maker of Wagenfeld's 1924 Bauhaus lamp.
In 1976 Walter Schnepel found a 1924 table lamp gathering dust in Wilhelm Wagenfeld's studio and asked why it had never been produced. Wagenfeld's answer — why don't you do it — became Tecnolumen in 1980.
The Bremen workshop is still the only one licensed to make that lamp, and the logo is the only guarantee of an original. Around it sits a small collection of Bauhaus-era designs.
