The German designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1900-1990) trained at the Kunstgewerbeschule Bremen and the Zeichenakademie Hanau before moving to the Bauhaus Weimar in 1923. There, in 1924, the WA24 table lamp with glass shade and base, still produced today, was created in the metal workshop. From 1926 he headed the metal workshop of the Weimar Hochschule für Handwerk und Baukunst. From 1935 to 1947 he was artistic director of the Vereinigte Lausitzer Glaswerke in Weißwasser, where among other things he designed the stackable Kubus glass containers. For the Jenaer Glaswerke Schott & Gen. he also developed the Sintrax coffee maker. In 1954 he founded his own development workshop for industrial models in Stuttgart, and with his designs for glass, porcelain and metal he shaped industrial series production in Germany.
