Heinz Pfaender
Dr. Heinz Georg Pfaender was born 13 January 1928 in Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. He grew up in Kleingartach where his father Otto Hermann worked as a school teacher.
In 1933 the family moved to Stuttgart. After World War II he became an architect. Later he joined and headed the office of Wilhelm Wagenfeld in the same town. At that time Wagenfeld was Germany’s most influential designer.
In the late 1950s Heinz Pfaender moved to Darmstadt. He became one of the founders of the design department of the local university.
During his career he wrote several books and designed many items: from small to heavy machinery to daily life goods. In 1961, Heinz Pfaender designed the Oslo table lamp and in 1963 the Bornholm desk lamp. Two design-icons of the Hillebrand company. He resigned as a professor in the mid 1990s.
