Rare Pair of Table lamps by Ingo Maurer from the 1970s

Beautiful pair of Space Age lamps by Into Maurer from the 1970s. In great condition with a very nice Chrome Patina. The interior bulb holder is still in original ceramics material. Very rare as this style is part of a collection mostly known for the classic light bulb shape lamps or the coil series.

About the Designer

Over the course of five decades, Maurer re-conceptualised lighting design with his tongue firmly in his cheek, while being among the first to adopt the latest technical innovations from LEDs to OLEDs. Deyan Sudjic, co-director of London's Design Museum, tweeted that Maurer was simply "the most inventive and creative lighting designer of the century". Over the course of his career he won a slew of the industry's highest accolades, from the Compasso d'Oro to the Design Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as the title Royal Designer of Industry, which he was awarded by the British Royal Society of Arts.
He died on 21 October 2019 surrounded by his family in his chosen home of Munich, where he has produced all his work since 1970.
