Midgard Licht GmbH

Midgard´s 100 years of lighting history began in 1919 in the world's first patent for an adjustable electric luminaire: The engineer Curt Fischer initially developed adjustable wall lights for his own needs, in order to build and offer them serially a little later under the brand name Midgard. A very early lamp, TYPE 113 is a complete success: The lamp is used at the Bauhaus in the studios, workshops, apartments and even in Gropius Meisterhaus. From then on, Fischer, like other companies such as Thonet or Artek, dealt with converting production from manual to industrial. The result is the constant further development of a modular system consisting of various types of shades, joints, rods and lamp bases, all of which could be freely combined with one another. Midgard stands for directable light: With the modular lighting system, the spring-loaded lamp, the swiveling K831 pendant lamp, Bauhaus-lamp TYP 113 and the sustainable AYNO lighting family, Midgard focuses entirely on articulated lights and adjustable light. The modular system is lighting system consisting of lampshades, arms, joints and lamp feet. These can be freely combined with one another to build the ideal luminaire for the respective purpose. The spring-loaded lamp is a modern classic that Midgard manufactures as an all-metal lamp as a table, clip and floor lamp. The K831 is a swiveling pendant lamp based on a design from 1929. The lampshade can be swiveled freely on the lamp head in all directions. The Bauhaus lamp TYP 113 was presented again in 2019 as a re-edition in hand-made design using the original techniques and materials and it is limited to 100 pieces. The AYNO lighting family is Midgard's first new design in nearly 70 years. The industrial designer Stefan Diez developed a sustainable, resource-saving LED luminaire family, which is made from only three, also completely recyclable, materials and can be assembled and disassembled by the user without tools.
