미드가르드 소개

Founded by engineer Curt Fischer after receiving the world's first patent for adjustable electric lighting in 1919, Midgard has spent more than a century developing luminaires that unite engineering, functionality and timeless design.

From the early years of modernism to today's contemporary collections, the company's work has remained guided by the same idea: light should adapt to people, not the other way around. This principle shaped Midgard's historic relationship with the Bauhaus movement and continues to define every new generation of luminaires.

미드가르드의 역사는 Curt Fischer가 세계 최초의 조절식 전기 조명을 개발하고 이어 미드가르드 상표를 설립한 독일 아우마에서 시작되었습니다. 그의 발명은 유연하고 직관적이며 빛을 정밀하게 향하게 하는 새로운 조명 방식을 열었습니다.

1920-1930년대에 미드가르드 조명은 근대건축의 가장 영향력 있는 프로젝트들에 사용되었습니다. Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Josef Albers, Hannes Meyer, Hans Wittwer, László Moholy-Nagy가 사용했으며, 바우하우스 운동과 연결된 주택, 스튜디오, 공방, 교육 건물에 등장했습니다.

TYP 113, Modular 시스템, 아이코닉한 FEDERZUG 태스크 램프를 비롯한 여러 역사적 모델은 조절식 조명 발전의 중요한 이정표로 남아 있습니다.

Many of Midgard's historic luminaires remain in continuous production today.

They continue to be manufactured using original tools and long-established production techniques, preserving the construction, proportions and functionality that made them design classics. Rather than reproducing historic objects, Midgard continues to manufacture original designs that have remained relevant for generations.

Alongside its heritage collection, Midgard develops new lighting families with internationally recognised designers.

Collections such as AYNO by Stefan Diez, LOJA by Sebastian Herkner and RAY by Loddo+Berger continue Curt Fischer's original principles for contemporary interiors. Each collection explores adjustable lighting in its own way while sharing the same commitment to intuitive functionality, thoughtful engineering and long product life.

Historic luminaires continue to be produced using original tools, while contemporary collections are developed with specialised manufacturing partners across Germany and Europe.

Metal spinning, enamelling, Bakelite processing and textile cable assembly remain integral parts of production wherever they provide the best solution, combining established manufacturing techniques with contemporary product development.

From Curt Fischer's first patent in 1919 to contemporary developments such as AYNO and Modular Neo, Midgard continues to create original engineering solutions that redefine the possibilities of adjustable lighting.

Collaborations with designers including Stefan Diez, Sebastian Herkner and Einsiedler+Loddo+Berger continue the company's tradition of engineering-driven innovation. From patented developments such as AYNO to the patented joint mechanism of Modular Neo, new collections build on the same ambition that has defined Midgard since 1919: creating original solutions that expand the possibilities of adjustable lighting.
