Signature

Signature
Ingo Maurer Team 2023
Inspired by the idea of chance – the uncontrolled form created by a falling cable - the Signature lamp by Ingo Maurer appears like a three-dimensional drawing in a room. The combination of a soft cable, which is connected to a springy, circular structure in simple black, creates the impression for the viewer that it has a coincidental, continuous shape. At the end of this construction, there is an elegant, deliberately inconspicuous lampshade that does not, steal the show from the tangle of cables. It blends stylishly with the overall concept and is thereby not overbearing. With a change of perspective, the way one sees the shape of the lampshade also changes: from a cone to an obliquely inclined rectangle. The lampshade made of anodised aluminium underlines the casualness of the new pendant lamp by Ingo Maurer with its asymmetry and ambiguity and provides a directional light with a GU10 light bulb.

PENDANT LUMINAIRE AT ITS BEST

By combining several Signature lights, the shade becomes a practical tool: Its curved end can be hooked into the cable of the second luminaire, allowing it to be combined to form constellations. For example, a large cloud can be formed or the downlight can be turned into an uplight. The enclosed design suggestions from the design team provide inspiration on how to best showcase the pendant light. There are no limits to your imagination: whether a wild braid or symmetrical configuration - the included clips allow the cables to be connected at any point.
When designing Signature, the Ingo Maurer team opted for an elastic, black rod that resembles the principle of a throwing tent. The rod becomes a large circle when it is bent open, but due to the pre-tension it has a tendency to fold over. The design team uses this element of tension deliberately to create natural soft curves. This gives the impression that the material is in a constant process of expansion, thus creating the seemingly floating and coherent shape.
