Ingo Maurer
He has trained as a graphic designer until 1958. Afterwards he went to the US in 1960, where he worked as a graphic designer and designer. In 1966 Ingo Maurer returned to Germany and began to concentrate himself exclusively on lighting design. In Munich Ingo founded "Design M" that same year, a firm specializing in producing lighting and developing lighting concepts. Influenced by Pop art, which he had encountered in America, Ingo's first lighting design, "Bulb" (1966), assumed the form of an outsize light bulb of chromium-plated metal and hand-blown glass. It was not long before he became famous worldwide with his innovative designs for lighting. The naked light bulb figures prominently in Ingo Maurer's designs: his tribute to Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of the light bulb. In 1969 Ingo Maurer designed "No fuss" and, in 1979 the elegantly simple "Savoie" lamp. In 1980, however, he deliberately reverted to his first lighting success to produce "Bulb Bulb", which can be either a pendent lamp or a floor lamp which reproduces again the form of an outsized light bulb.
