As early as 1919, engineer Curt Fischer developed movable, freely positionable work lights, for which he created the Midgard brand. His patent was the forerunner of many articulated lamps for desks and workshops. Fischer’s products inspired Bauh\u00e4usler, and architects such as Josef Frank, Friedl Dicker and Franz Singer incorporated them into residential interiors around 1930. Outstanding examples tell the story of steerable light. Christian Dell initially designed his \u2018idell\u2019 luminaires for the Viennese company Koranda, before they became a perennial favourite in Germany thanks to an exchange of patents. For the exhibition, students of Professor Stefan Diez at the Angewandte in Vienna are testing their technical and poetic visions and exhibiting them at the deisgnforum Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
