Joseph Beuys designed the lamp in 1960 for his studio in Düsseldorf at Drakeplatz. Jörg Schellmann was fascinated by the minimalist design and incorporated the lamp's design into his production.

On the beginning of the collaboration with Beuys: “... In 1970, Bernd Klüser, my gallery partner at the time, and I decided to visit Beuys and persuade him to let us organize an exhibition of the thirty or so multiples he had produced up to that point. The result of this visit was not only an exhibition, but also the first catalog raisonné of these works and our very first edition with him. It was the beginning of a long collaboration that had a huge impact on me both personally and professionally.
