austrian art franz and karl hagenauer won the gold medal at the 1930 milan triennale for their design of a candelabrum named “baum” (transl. Tree). The design of the carefully welded brass tube with four arms and loosely resting candle holders on a round plinth was virtually trend-setting for its time. This early design piece was to become one of hagenauer’s most successful models; the candelabrum was available in brass and nickel-plated brass. The reduced form language and the architectural design attracted a lot of media attention in 1930 and is still a sought-after design classic today.
