L40 pendant lamp (Tecta)
Gerrit Rietveld | 1922
€ 975,00 incl. BTW
Rietveld designed the L40 pendant lamp in 1922. It was the inspiration for the early work of Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer before he focused on his world-famous tubular furniture, which in its turn was closely related to the work of Mart Stam. The L40 lamp was part of the design Rietveld made for the consultation room of the progressive doctor Arie Marinus Hartog from Maarssen. The design was simple and innovative, using the new tube lighting technology at the time.
