Hans Przyrembel
1900 – 1945
Hans Przyrembel (1900–1945) was an influential German designer, goldsmith, and silversmith renowned for his innovative work during the Bauhaus period. Born in Halle, Przyrembel initially trained as a locksmith and, following World War I, enrolled at the Bauhaus School, where he studied from 1924 to 1928. Under the mentorship of prominent figures such as Marianne Brandt, he developed his expertise in metalwork and lighting design.
In 1929, Przyrembel established his own workshop in Leipzig, quickly gaining recognition for his modern, functional designs, including teapots, coffee pots, jewelry, and lamps. His creations are celebrated for their clear, geometric forms, embodying Bauhaus principles of simplicity and utility. An example of his work, a teapot designed at Bauhaus, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, exemplifying his skill in balancing form and function.
During World War II, Przyrembel was called to military service once more and is believed to have died in captivity in 1945. Despite his untimely death, Przyrembel left a legacy of timeless designs that continue to inspire, and Tecnolumen proudly incorporates his Bauhaus spirit into its collections, keeping his vision alive.
