Midgard

Midgard Lighting at HORNE

Midgard is a legendary German lighting brand known for its pioneering role in the development of adjustable task lighting. Founded in the early 20th century by engineer Curt Fischer—often referred to as the inventor of the adjustable lamp—Midgard has long been celebrated for its innovative designs that fuse mechanical ingenuity with timeless aesthetics. At HORNE, we proudly showcase a curated selection of Midgard lighting that continues this rich legacy of form-meets-function design.

A Century of Innovation in Lighting Design

Midgard began in the 1910s as a solution to inadequate factory lighting. Fischer developed adjustable lamps that could be positioned precisely where light was needed—an idea that would revolutionize both industrial and domestic lighting. These early designs caught the attention of the Bauhaus movement, and Midgard lamps became a fixture in studios, workshops, and homes alike. Their clean lines, visible mechanics, and intuitive usability perfectly embodied the Bauhaus principles of utility and simplicity.

Today, Midgard continues to manufacture its classic designs in Germany, preserving the quality and engineering excellence that made them iconic, while introducing new iterations that suit contemporary interiors.

Iconic Lamps, Made to Endure

The Midgard Modular and Spring-Balanced Lamps are standout pieces in the world of task lighting. With their precisely engineered joints, solid construction, and understated style, these lamps are ideal for desks, workspaces, and reading nooks. They offer maximum adjustability with minimal visual clutter—allowing light to be directed exactly where it’s needed without compromising on design.

The AYNO series, one of Midgard’s recent innovations, has been widely celebrated for its contemporary take on adjustable lighting. It features a tension-based system with a flexible fiberglass rod that allows the light to be easily repositioned without complex mechanics. With its striking silhouette and inventive functionality, AYNO reflects Midgard’s dedication to progress and experimentation in lighting design.

Timeless Design for Modern Spaces

Midgard lamps are engineered for everyday use but designed to last a lifetime. Their industrial yet elegant aesthetic makes them ideal for modern homes, studios, and offices. These lights don’t just brighten a space—they become a part of its character.

With their visible craftsmanship, durable materials, and intuitive movement, Midgard lights are a perfect blend of German engineering and enduring style.
