We are now in the midst of the
Bauhaus anniversary year.
The media has been accepting this
subject with appreciation and the
exhibitions on this topic are being
seamlessly strung together across
the republic. The extent of the
accompanying strong interest in our
products, both on a national and
international level, was unexpected
and also came as quite a surprise
for us. Without a doubt, the Bauhaus
is a major German cultural export.
I was particularly pleased that
Marianne Brandt is finally receiving
the acknowledgement that she has
long since earned. We take a look at
her work with a guest article by
Hans Irrek. Anyone with employees
and partners who are as enthusiastic
as ours are, can consider themselves
lucky. We introduce Hartmut Dörrie,
a person who continues to live
passionately for his career, as well
as for design and photography, and
has no intention of stopping despite
having celebrated his 80th birthday.
What is it about our lamps that
people are actually fascinated by?
How did they come to own one?
And how does it effect their lives?
One special person who has
given us insight into these questions,
and is featured in “Light-Sight”.
The Bauhaus design classics are by
far not the only thing TECNOLUMEN
has to offer. At the IMM in Cologne,
we presented the LUM – a new
lamp that will come onto the market
this year in cooperation with
THONET. The portrait of Egon
Eiermann also shows that products
from other eras also become design
classics.
The large amount of consistently
positive responses to the first
TECNOLUMEN magazine has
motivated us to make TL2 even
more interesting and worth reading
for you. I am certain that we
have done an excellent job of
achieving this, and hope you enjoy
reading it.
Sincerely, Carsten Hotzan
Executive Director of
TECNOLUMEN
