The freestanding luminaire Hase is another exemple of the Wiener Werkbund. Using simple metal tubing and the basic bending process, J.T. Kalmar designed a luminaire with a kinetic yet delicate posture. Hase is finished in a polished brass that is uninterrupted by the untreated electrical cord, and it is partly wrapped in a tactile leather grip that serves as an organic foil to the lamp’s precise fabrication.
