Ingo Maurer Book

"Compact Design Portfolio: Ingo Maurer charts the numerous achievements of the world's most ingenious and poetic lighting designer. His signature piece is Lucellino, a low-voltage bulb fitted with feathered wings that seems to be flying across the room, but he has also made lamps from plastic chicken feet, a tea strainer, an LED board, and holographic light bulbs." Throughout his career, Maurer has explored the potential of light in large-scale temporary installations at the annual Milan and Cologne design fairs and in museums around the world Maurer is a magician of light, endlessly inventive and unfailingly practical, and his lamps bring a smile to your face and a glow to your life. This collection of photographs and sketches spans his entire career and includes insightful text by design critic Michael Webb.
