The Bauhaus Standard

Ebolicht: Lighting as Doctrine

Since 1911, eight years before the Bauhaus manifesto, Bolichwerke Ebolicht has defined what it means to merge form, function, and forever.

Bolichwerke Ebolicht isn’t just lighting—it’s the physical DNA of modernism. For over a century, these fixtures have embodied timeless design, enduring functionality, and a commitment to quality that transcends trends and eras. They are more than lamps; they are icons. From defining the Bauhaus movement to illuminating Mies van der Rohe’s blueprints and even appearing in Oscar-winning films, Ebolicht stands as a testament to the power of design that lasts.

At BINK, we build our collection around Ebolicht because they represent lighting at its most essential and enduring. These fixtures have outlasted wars, shaped the aesthetics of modernism, and continue to inspire new generations of designers and creators.

We’re not just retailers—we’re keepers of the glow. For us, it’s not about selling lamps; it’s about preserving a legacy. And that’s worth a bit of trouble.😉

BINK's Cornerstone Ebolicht

Still Built Like 1911 Demanded

While the world moved to plastic and planned obsolescence, Bolichwerke kept the Bauhaus covenant:

The Unchanged Rituals

  • Metal Pressing: Same 80-ton hydraulic presses from Dessau-era workshops—each bend calibrated to ±0.2mm tolerances

  • Glass Blowing: Opaline shades still hand-finished by third-generation artisans in Jena (where Zeiss lenses are born)

  • Brass Aging: Unlacquered bases aged in salt chambers for patinas no chemical wash can fake

So what, you say?

No “Close Enough”

Every screw thread matches original DIN 7991 standards, because Bauhaus was also about interchangeability

Rejection by Default

3 out of every 10 lamps fail final inspection, for flaws only a master craftsperson sees.
Rejects are melted down in-house. No seconds. No sales.

The Hollywood Paradox

These lamps light period films precisely because they refuse to “play vintage”.
That EB-09 pendant in Valkyrie? It was already 80 years old when filmed.
