During this year’s Milan Design Week, Ingo Maurer unveiled new elements for the classic YaYaHo luminaire. With geometric shapes, familiar materials such as Japanese paper and technical updates, the Ingo Maurer team has now given the 1984 low-voltage system a modern makeover. The showroom was also an Ingo Maurer first: for the first time, we have set up shop at Via Varese 13 and brought the space to life with light. The space was used to showcase the versatility of the YaYaHo system: whether stretched from wall to wall, mounted at right angles or diagonally, used as a room divider or arranged as a sculptural composition – YaYaHo offers plenty of scope for creativity, true to Ingo Maurer’s motto: ‘This lamp needs a co-designer.’ As is traditional, Ingo Maurer hosted the official opening ceremony on Tuesday evening, which formed part of the Via Varese Opening.

From 12 to 15 March, we opened the doors of our Munich showroom. Across our 700 square metres, visitors were able to experience the full range of our work, from exciting new pieces and timeless classics to unique, one-off items.
