Product: Ingo Maurer 2000/2001
After an apprenticeship as typesetter, Ingo Maurer studied graphic design in Munich before working in New York and San Francisco as a freelance graphic designer. In 1963, he moved back to Germany, and founded Design M, a company developing and manufacturing lamps after his own designs. The company was later renamed to "Ingo Maurer GmbH". One of his first designs, «Bulb» (1966) has been included in the design collection of the Museum of Modern Art in 1966. In 1984 he presented the low-voltage wire system YaYaHo, consisting of two horizontally fixed metal ropes and a series of adjustable lighting elements with halogen bulbs, which became an instant success. Beside the design of lamps for serial production, Ingo Maurer creates and plans light installations for public and private spaces and events. Since 1989, his designs and objects have been presented in exhibitions in Europe, the U.S. and Japan. This catalog presents high-quality full-page and double-page color photographs and technical information for YaYaHo and other systems, hanging lamps, ceiling lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps, and table lamps.
