Wagenfeld tea-cosy | WW 28

Wilhelm Wagenfeld, 1928

Wilhelm Wagenfeld's tea warmer is not just a classic for tea lovers. Here, too, Wagenfeld combined his favorite materials, metal and glass. The popular table accessory was created in 1928 when Wagenfeld headed the metal workshop of the Dessau Bauhaus. He decided to use the screwed connections of the nickel-plated brass frame as design elements to emphasize the design of the warmer. The opal glass lets the glow of the tealight shimmer atmospherically. With this everyday object, Wagenfeld also made clear his motto that being useful also means being beautiful.
