ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Christian Dell

1893 – 1974 (Germany)

Christian Dell spent the majority of his life training as a silversmith in various institutions, before helping define the tough and effective aesthetic of the Bauhaus school. In that design school’s formative years he acted as the foreman of the metal workshop and was responsible for teaching a new generation his functional and reductive approach. The Kaiser Idell range is Dell’s most well-regarded contribution, but he worked tirelessly on la s, jewellery and metal sculpture, combining his practical approach with artistic sensibilities. Later in his career Dell also did pioneering work with early plastic technology.

The renowned KAISER idell la is characterised by Christian Dell??s ability to create elegant design with basic geometric hallmarks of modernism: shapes like the sphere, circle and cylinder. Today, the KAISER idell is widely recognised as a symbol of noble Bauhaus design, exquisite choice of material, and precise engineering.??
