about the designer :: Belmag Switzerland

The Belmag company was one of the leading Swiss producers of lighting during the 20th century. The company worked closely with Swiss architects like Sigfried Gideon and Hin Bredendieck. Their goal was to incorporate industrial production techniques and the Bauhaus aesthetic in creating lamps that were functional and clearly modern. They also produced the lamps of Christian Dell for a short period of time during the 20’s.
