Destination Munich – Kaiserstrasse 47 Peter Groom In December 2008, a new space opened in Munich – the showroom of world-renowned lighting designer, Ingo Maurer, where for the first time in Europe “studioshowroomwerkstattatelier” makes discovering Ingo Maurer prototypes, One-Offs, and entire lighting collection possible at one unique address. Situated just off a central courtyard marked by a giant 4.5 m high Water Column, you will find a secret garden where the entrance to the showroom awaits, and the glass doors part to welcome you to experience more than 130 products. Such a significant...

open dialogue, discussions, as well as technical explanations, but principally makes it possible to purchase lamps from the wide range of products on display . “This is a place to come where you can set your imagination free,” says Ingo Maurer, “each experience is intended to be unique and we look forward to making this a reality for each and every visitor .” On first impression, the impact of the creative energy in the product is immediate and each light is placed in a way to allow you to indulge

your curiosity and learn more about this poet and magician of light. It is also a setting to obtain a deeper understanding about the HighTech and “Manufaktur” aspects of Ingo Maurer products, along with an opportunity to take advantage of expert client services, schedule an appointment to discuss custom orders, obtain in-depth product knowledge or advice on project planning. “To communicate the aesthetic and functional potential of a lamp, it’s best to have it where we have control of the environment it is in.

The customer can see both the lamp and the light it creates, as well as try out how it works,” Ingo Maurer explains. “We have learned this consistently from the tradeshows, fairs and at our showroom in New York. We are looking forward to transferring this knowledge into the experience at Kaiserstrasse.”

The effort to transfer a broader understanding of the product is present in every detail put into the showroom and as Ingo Maurer further articulates, “My wish for the new space on Kaiserstrasse is that it will allow the visitor to recognize our enthusiasm for the unique value of original lighting and inspire them to see more than just a lighting fixture. Our passion to create is very strong, and to

share this openly was the principal motivation for us to open this space.” Well wor th a special trip to Munich, the oppor tunity to explore over 40 years of Ingo Maurer product design, both past and present, makes this most certainly a “not to be missed” design destination. studioshowroomwerkstattatelier+shop Kaiserstrasse 47, 80801 Munich, Germany, Phone: +49 89 381 60 691, Fax: +49 89 381 60 690, Email: space@ingo-maurer.com, www.ingo-maurer.com

Everything was better in ancient times. Modern things are dangerous. That‘s why I go to work at my studio riding a horse. When you shed a tear over the extinction of the incandescent bulb, many people think you are just being nostalgic. But for us it is something different: we mourn losing a component of our lighting toolbox. And it is an unequaled component of that toolbox. Maybe the bulbs measurable characteristics do not meet requirements in a pragmatic perspective. But its distinct character can be sensed by ... well, maybe not by everyone, but at least by most of the people not working...

Lightbulbs only, max. 60 W. Do not use for sex. Idea: Reinhold Brandmair, Ingo Maurer and Team. How to protect yourself from stupid Rules – the Euro Condom 23
