Vintage Bauhaus Model 0342 Table Lamps by Marianne Brandt & H. Bredendieck for LBL, 1950s, Set of 2

Bauhaus desk lamps, model type 03 4.0, from Leipziger Leuchtenbau (LBL), formerly the renowned lighting company Kandem. These lamps are identically depicted in the standard work "Bauhausleuchten? Kandemlicht! Bauhaus Lighting? Kamdem Light" (Arnoldsche Art Publishers, page 155, right). They embody the iconic symbiosis of functionality and minimalist aesthetics that characterized Bauhaus design in the 1930s. The lamps bear the model number 0342 on their characteristic glass base, a direct reference to the earlier designation and the original design by Bauhaus designers Hin Bredendieck and Marianne Brandt, thus representing an authentic example of the design and production history of Leuchtenbau Leipzig. The lamp, demonstrably documented with the manufacturer's stamp "Leipziger Leuchtenbau," is listed as type 03 4.0. However, the model number 0342 still exists as an imprint on the glass base, making this version particularly rare and highlighting a fascinating connection between its renaming and origin. This model was produced in a wide variety of versions and is characterized by a striking combination of materials: black Bakelite, bent metal, and a glass base. It is ideal as a Bauhaus table lamp, a work lamp, or an exclusive collector's item for design enthusiasts and interiors in the Bauhaus, functionalist, and vintage styles. The clarity of its forms, its innovative functionality, and its excellent craftsmanship make this original Leipziger Leuchtenbau lamp a timeless Bauhaus design classic with documented provenance and high value for collectors and lovers of historical lighting.
