An authentic original hanau höhensonne medical lamp, manufactured in germany during the 1930s and professionally converted into a remarkable bauhaus table lamp. Originally designed as a therapeutic infrared medical device, this rare example showcases the outstanding engineering and functionalist aesthetics that made hanau one of germany’s leading manufacturers of medical lighting equipment. The lamp retains its original chrome-plated reflector, articulated adjustment mechanism, ventilated housing and original hanau plaques, while benefiting from professional restoration and completely renewed electrical wiring. The sculptural construction combines precision engineering with timeless bauhaus proportions, making it equally suitable as functional lighting or as a collectible design object. The adjustable arm and rotating reflector allow the light to be directed precisely where required, while the polished chrome surfaces create a striking architectural presence. An exceptional addition to bauhaus, industrial, machine age, medical modernism or art deco collections.
