Description

Industrial lamp BA 900, Midgard, Germany, 1960s
Original Midgard BA 900 industrial lamp with a joint, manufactured in East Germany.
The original label marked BA 900 / TGL 22864 has survived on one of the arms, allowing the model to be identified unambiguously.

The lamp features functional design characteristic of Midgard, with adjustable metal arms and a large, hemispherical metal shade.
Thanks to its numerous joints, the light source can be positioned in various ways.

This example has retained its authentic industrial vintage condition, with visible material ageing, scuffs and surface patina.
It has not been restored, allowing it to retain its original character.

Note: The base is not the original factory base made by Midgard. It was made later from a solid metal disc. The base itself weighs approximately 6,5 kg, providing the lamp with excellent stability.
