lamps – [merzbau]

Ingo Maurer (Germany 1932-2019)

69.5cm diameter x 81cm high

Rare pair of very large table or floor lamps. The model name is “Tschung” by Ingo Maurer was produced by M-Design in the 1980s and combines an engraved opaline glass body by Vetri Murano with its original fabric lampshade. Both light sources – the glass body and the shade – can be switched on separately, creating a gentle, interplay of light. One of the lamps is labelled Vetri Murano on one of the glass. An identical model is published in “Ingo Maurer – Designing with Light” by Bernhard Dessecker on page 181 (bottom right). Models of this version very rarely appear on the market – especially with their original large sized shades.

Price: 2.650 euro

model 3 desk lamp

Sybold van Ravesteyn (Nl 1889-1983)

Model 3 desk lamp. Metal & lacquered wood.

_Originally designed in the 1926, a few limited productions of the design were manufactured in the 1970s. This particular lamp is a very rare 1970s production that was the most faithful to the original series of only 8 lamps that were made. This version has wooden black and white sections (like the original). It has a screwed in metal plate around the two switches (like the original) and a cleaner top edge (without a plastic protector shield that some versions have)

(please note that this is not a DS 23 Huszár lamp)
