Bauhaus Ceiling Lamp | DMB 26 / ... Ni
About this product
Architonic ID: 1005531
SKU: DMB 26 / ... Ni
Year of Launch: 1926
Marianne Brandt designed this ceiling lamp with an opal glass ball at her metal workshop in Dessau in 1926. The simple, unassuming and timelessly beautiful Bauhaus model became such an instant hit that it was produced in series. DMB 26 by TECNOLUMEN has an impressively timeless presence, which radiates beautifully in modern and classically furnished interiors.
It was created in 1926 by the painter, sculptor, photographer and designer Marianne Brandt, one of the most prominent Bauhaus artists whose designs are now displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the British Museum in London.
DMB 26 features an opal glass ball that appears to float through the room as it scatters its hazy light. The spherical lamp hangs from three 14-cm-short delicate rods attached to a circular baseplate. The glass ball comes in different sizes. While the glass is overlaid with opal, the metallic baseplate and rods have different finishes.
The catalogue information seems to suggest the metal parts were all made of aluminium. As aluminium quickly oxidises and becomes unsightly, the lamp now features a nickel-plated or brass-plated surface.
The optionally 250mm, 300mm, 350mmm or 400mm large opal ball is held by three rods and a ring as a holding device on the ceiling plate, which reflects the light of the ball (2.7 kg (Ø 250mm), 4.1 kg (Ø 300mm), 4.4 kg (Ø 350mm), 7.0 kg (Ø 400mm).
The ceiling lamp is available in nickel-plated metal or polished and zaponiert brass.
Each lamp is numbered consecutively and bears the TECNOLUMEN / BAUHAUS logo.

Marianne Brandt
Germany
Marianne Brandt (née Liebe) (1893–1983) was a pioneering German designer and one of the most influential figures of the Bauhaus movement. Trained initially as a painter, she joined the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1924 and soon became a leading student in the metal workshop, an area dominated by men at the time. Under the mentorship of László Moholy-Nagy, Brandt's innovative designs in metalwork — particularly her teapots, lamps, and ashtrays — came to embody the functional and minimalist aesthetics of the Bauhaus. Her iconic teapot design, created in 1924, is celebrated for its geometric purity and remains a landmark of 20th-century industrial design. Brandt later became the head of the Bauhaus metal workshop, making her one of the first women to lead a workshop at the school. Beyond her Bauhaus contributions, Brandt worked as a designer for the metalware company Ruppelwerk and later engaged in teaching and visual arts. Her legacy lies in her commitment to combining functionality with elegant simplicity, which helped shape modern industrial design and challenged gender norms within the field.
