Ceiling Lamp by Eva Renée Nele Bode for Temde

The German sculptor and designer Eva Renée Nele Bode, known as E.R. Nele (born 1932 in Berlin), studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London and under Hans Uhlmann at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Berlin, where she learned metalworking. As the daughter of documenta founder Arnold Bode, she took part in documenta in 1959 and 1964. She is known internationally above all for her figurative metal sculptures. Alongside this, in the 1960s she designed numerous lamps for the Swiss manufacturer Temde: ceiling, floor and table lamps in metal, glass and plastic in the Space Age style of the time. In 1965 she founded her own studio in Frankfurt's Gallusviertel, which she still runs today.
