1 J.T. Kalmar GmbH Werkstätten Novelties A/W

2 Kalmar Werkstätten Kalmar Werkstätten celebrates the historic lighting manufacture Kalmar. Since the project s launch in 2009, Kalmar Werkstätten has issued designs based on drawings found in the Kalmar archives and selected for today s residential and commercial interiors. Specifically these lamps, chandeliers, and sconces spotlight the Secession and Wiener Werkstätten, movements in which the company was intimately involved, thanks to working relationships second-generation owner Julius Theodor Kalmar had established with the great talents including Josef Hoffmann and Josef Frank. They rediscover Austrian modernism s directness of form, honest expression of industry and craftsmanship, and dedication to time-honored materials - and are contemporary heirlooms in their own right. Collaborating with a choice group of emerging and established talent, Kalmar Werkstätten is releasing light fixtures whose designs are chosen from the Kalmar archive and adapted for today s residential and commercial interiors. Kalmar Werkstätten Kalmar Werkstätten, eine Marke der Firma Kalmar, brachte vor kurzem eine Reedition ausgewählter Entwürfe auf den Markt, die auf wiederentdeckten Zeichnungen des Kalmar Archives beruhen. Die Stehleuchten, Wandleuchten und Pendelleuchten spiegeln die Zeit der Sezession und die Ära der Wiener Werkstätten wider. Damals bewegte sich Julius Theodor Kalmar, der Sohn des Gründers Julius August Kalmar, im Umfeld des Wiener Werkbundes, dessen Ideen er umsetzte, und pflegte Kontakt mit Wegbereitern der Moderne wie Josef Frank und Josef Hoffmann. Die Entwürfe wurden mit einer Reihe von etablierten und aufstrebenden Designern neu interpretiert und erwecken die Klarheit der Form und den Ausdruck hochstehender Handwerkskunst des österreichischen Modernismus zu neuem Leben. Die detailgenaue Verarbeitung und der kunstfertige Umgang mit hochwertigen Materialien machen die Objekte der Werkstätten Kollektion zu zeitgemässen Objekten mit designgeschichtlichem Erbe. J. T.

Like the table and floor versions, the new pendant s voluminous shade has classic appeal, while the dialogue between shade and slender armature injects modern personality into a space. HL also features single and double tubes available in light gray, charcoal, or brown matte lacquers in its shade and mounting plate that harmonize with the overall Fliegenbein series s signature splayed leg. A wheat-colored electrical cord dances around the fixture s braided-steel suspension wire.

8 Fliegenbein SL Standing Lamp Dimensions height 1150 mm width 240 mm depth 230 mm shade diameter 295 mm Finishes metal: matte lacquered brown, dark grey, light grey shade: silken cable: wheat color textile socket: 4 E14 40W The Fliegenbein SL Standing Lamp is the most recent addition to the Fliegenbein family, expanding the character and functional applications of the range. The new luminaire revises the proportions of the original Fliegenbein BL, with a truncated overall height and an elongated shade. The effect is of a lantern: the design s signature bent legs now peek out from under a silken pleated expanse that emits intimate, diffuse light. By pairing a modest size with bold visual gesture, Fliegenbein SL makes an inviting companion to an armchair or lounge. Its tubular steel may be finished in light and dark gray or brown matte lacquer, and the electrical cord is wheat-colored.

9 J.T. Kalmar GmbH, Bennogasse 8,, Vienna,1080, Austria Kilo Lamp Series, Original Design by Julius Theodor Kalmar Re-edited by Nicolo Taliani/ Garth Roberts

10 Kilo BL Floor Lamp Series Dimensions height 1540 mm shade diameter 390 mm Finish metal: gun metal black steel bass with either polished brass or polished nickel stem shade: silk textile cord socket: 1xE27 The Kilo derives its name from the milled cylinder that comprises its highly stable base. Yet the character of the design owes entirely to its asymmetrical pairing of that pure mass to a large shade. In combining the blackened, solid-steel base with a crown of natural silk, J.T. Kalmar effected playfulness and elegance in a freestanding luminaire. Its slender shaft and metal details may be finished in a polished nickel or brass.

Confident in Dreistelz s chameleon-like ability to complement and elevate any modern living environment, Kalmar finished the floor lamp in polished nickel and polished brass. It also features the proprietary black cord that identifies the Kalmar Werkstätten brand.
