produced by bahag ag in mannheim under the "tween light" line, it directly follows in the footsteps of the bauhaus movement through its pursuit of pure functionality and minimalist aesthetic. It bears witness to a period when quality design still prioritized the nobility of materials and rigorous construction.

its collection name, phonetically evoking the english word "twin," pays homage to its ingenious design with a double light source that offers exceptional depth of illumination.

this lamp draws its inspiration from the modernist movement with its mushroom-shaped silhouette. The work on the lamp's body is particularly remarkable, with a dual finish on the steel that alternates between a silky matte brushing and mirror-polished metal details. Contrary to current standards, it surprises with its weight, using dense stainless steel and a generous dome of genuine frosted white opal glass.
