Carbon Fiber ‘Flying Disc’ Suspension Lamp For Ingo Maurer

Carbon fiber ‘Flying Disc’ suspension lamp for Ingo MaurerThis extremely lightweight yet sizable creation comes to us from the brilliant imagination of Ingo Maurer, one of the most celebrated German lighting icons since 1966. With creativity and technical prowess, Maurer’s lamps have been explicitly designed to “stimulate the imagination and excite the emotions.” Today his Munich workshop continues to craft incomparable creations true to the one of a kind spirit of the firm’s founder.Attached by 3 nearly invisible metal wires, the ‘Flying Disc’ appears to hover like a UFO below the ceiling and is intended to be installed at an angle to add dynamics to the space and create indirect lighting. The thin white diffuser disc is brilliantly illuminated by a ring of high-quality LEDs affixed to the long and slender black rod that is suspended through the disc's center. The length of the rod and the angle of the ring are adjustable, making it possible to light up the diffuser disc asymmetrically. All three parts–the disc, the rod and the ring–visually merge to form a most intriguing graphical object. The Flying Disc is based on the​ floor lamp Ringelpiez, which Ingo Maurer first presented at light+building, Frankfurt in March 2016. Two prototypes of the suspended object were presented in Milan at ​San Paolo Converso, a former church which is now used for exhibitions. Five Flying Disc were installed at ​​​Hotel Unique São Paulo​ in 2016.Price is per item. Available to order in limited quantities.
