AEG site: lights
by BEHRENS, Peter, Photo
The greatest achievement of Behrens’s Berlin years was the incomparable series of product, graphic and architectural designs for AEG, with which Behrens created the world’s first corporate image. In the sphere of product design, this was achieved by offering a number of models based on various permutations of standardized parts, colours and finishes. This technique was applied to arc lamps, electric fans, electric clocks and, most successfully, to a range of electric kettles introduced in 1909.
