ORGINAL 'BULB' M-DESIGN - Ingo Maurer
sold
description
Original vintage 'BULB' table lamp by Ingo MaurerBulb, the inaugural luminaire crafted by Ingo Maurer, presents itself as an oversized rendition of a conventional light bulb.
Encased within a body meticulously fashioned from mouth-blown crystal glass sourced from Murano, the luminaire features a mirrored dome that houses a standard light bulb.
Often likened to Pop Art for its bold aesthetic, Bulb made its debut in 1966 and swiftly garnered acclaim, earning a coveted place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City by 1968.
In the pursuit of maintaining its design integrity, Maurer initially opted for a 100-watt lamp; however, lesser output lamps are discouraged as they result in diminished proportions.
To adhere to Maurer's vision, the provided LED string lamp perfectly complements Bulb's dimensions and ambiance, also available separately for convenience.
