There are many books about the german BAUHAUS school, its background and artists. I would like to recommend only a few here.

 

My research about the double cylinder hanging lamp is manly based upon these books:

 

 

 

1. J.A. Binroth/K. Heise/P.Kleine/U.Krüger/K.Struve/O.Thormann

    K.Weber

    Bauhausleuchten? Kandemlicht!

    Die Zusammenarbeit des Bauhauses mit der Leipziger Firma

    Kandem

    Bauhaus Lighting? Kandem Light!

    The collaboration of the Bauhaus with the Leipzig company

    Kandem

 

 

    Publisher: Arnoldsche, 2003 ISBN 3-89790-181-1

 

    This publication was published on the occasion of the exhibition

    "Bauhaus Lighting? Kandem Light! The collaboration of the

    Bauhaus with the Leipzig company Kandem."

 

    Perfect for international scholars, because it is written in

    german and english!
