The archetype among desk lamps is produced by Midgard until today on original tools with all parts made in germany. In the 1950s Midgard took the parallelogram arm design with spring tension to perfection. Defined by superior quality and craftsmenship, the joints and springs are made of metal, and remain flexible and stable even under heavy usage.

The spring balanced lamp comes in four variants. As clamp, table or floor lamp and with adapter for various office desks.

K831 – the most simple and beautiful way to adjust light.
The swiveling shade allows to direct the ligth cone flexible where needed. The lampshade is available in 8 variants. Aluminium, copper solid, semi-matte black powder-coated or enamelled in pearl white, pale green, cement grey, anthracite and black . Any RAL colour upon request in small order quantities possible.

All parts are produced in germany by using original techniques and materials. The dome is made of bakelit and the lamp shade is hand pushed. It can be switched on with a classic rotary switch at the top dome.

Midgard modular is a freely configurable lighting system, consisting of table, wall, ceiling and floor lamps. Different arm lengths, five lampshades and a choice of joint and lamp colours allow endless configurations, according to individual needs.

Midgard modular is based on the well-known TYP 113 lamp, with which, among others, the many spaces in the Bauhaus have been equipped.
Leaded by Curt Fischer, Midgard developed this modular draft during the 1920s into a lighting system to answer all needs of lighting within private and public life.

The lamps and all their parts are produced in germany, using the original tools and techniques. A special feature are the maintenance-free joints - thanks to the patented two-screw solution of Curt Fischer.

With AYNO, the first design of a new Midgard Lamp since the 1950s, the Industrial Designer Stefan Diez is testing the boundaries between origin and status quo of adjustable lighting. Radically reduced to the essentials, AYNO meets all requirements of design, technology and sustainability.

Central feature of the AYNO lighting family is a fiberglass rod, which is stretched to the bow by the luminaire cable. The inherent tension of the rod allows a lamp without any joints. By sliding the two adjustment rings at top and bottom, the fiberglass rod is bent into the desired position and the light is directed where needed. The cable tightens the rod into an arc, of which the radius can be varied as required using the adjustment rings. The fine adjustment is done with the swiveling lampshade.

The most famous draft of Midgard is the ‚Peitschenleuchte‘, TYP 113, which is one of the very first serial produced adjustable lamps of the world.
For Midgard´s 100th anniversary, the TYP 113 is manufactured again by using original techniques and materials with no industrial / serial production method included.
 
When the Bauhaus moves into its new buildings in Dessau in 1926, midgard's TYP 113 are among the fixtures. Masters and students alike find their precise, machine-like aesthetic both modern and motivating.
Soon Midgard will also be showcased in the most significant architectural exhibitions: from the Weißenhof Estate and the accompanying ‚Die Wohnung’ exhibition in Stuttgart (1927), ‚Wohnung und Werkraum’ in Wroclaw (1929), the exhibition of the Deutsche Werkbund in Paris (1930) and the ‚Deutsche Bauausstellung’ in Berlin (1931). 

When Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer and Lyonel Feiniger left the Bauhaus and, soon after, germany, they took their Midgard TYP 113 with them. Meyer took it to Russia, Gropius to Lincoln (Massachusetts) and Feininger to New York. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy used the lamp to illuminate his director’s desk at the New Bauhaus in Chicago – as can be seen in pictures from the time.
