After months of hard work we show our first crop of lamps to the public. We feel very positive about it. An abundance of new ideas – versatile, open-minded, and all with a sense of humor. We are in good spirits. With the new collection comes the rebirth of Light Structure. I first designed this together with Peter Hamburger in 1970. Today new techniques make it possible to replace the magnificent but banned incandescent tubes we used in 1970 with smartly placed LEDs. We continue the productive and amicable relationship with Moritz Waldemeyer. It is a collaboration we cherish. He is a...

One Thousand Flames Moritz Waldemeyer’s latest project for Ingo Maurer is a parabolic mirror that reflects digital flames from its hexagonal surfaces. A custom-made LED display is placed in the mirror’s focal point, from where the light is reflected and multiplied into dozens of digital flames. The resulting effect resembles the facets of a diamond, but one that is inverted, concave instead of convex. This jewel-like beauty combines the quaint charm of candle-light with futuristic feel of intricate geometric lines. A second light source uses the parabolic geometry to create a pool of white...

Knot We take a leap outside the boundaries of serial production in order to make a product where each one is truly original. New manufacturing processes allow for new ways to think of and create elaborate shapes without molds and tools. Today, three-dimensional printing or freeform solid manfacturing is a modern means  to  allow  ideas  such  objects  to  be  realized. Even though the shape stays the same, each object possesses its own DNA. As intricate as fingerprints these differences in material can be seen in big or small changes. They are an inherent part of the production  process ...

Broken Egg, Inhotim Brazil Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that there is a human being who would realize my dream to build a broken egg dedicated to light. It will happen in Brazil (near the city of Belo Horizonte) at Inhotim, the art park built by a great individual. Thank you, Bernardo Paz.* * more information to come.
