A student of Peter Behrens, Meyer collaborated closely with Walter Gropius and was known for his functional, minimalist approach to design. His lamps, characterized by clean lines and industrial aesthetics, embodied the Bauhaus principles of combining art with technology. Often made from metal and glass, these lamps prioritized practicality and efficiency while maintaining a modern, elegant look.
