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

Diesel with Foscarini

‘Hexx’ table lamp. Diesel Living, 2014.

38cm wide / 58cm high.

Innovative contemporary design lamp – The Hexx table lamp comes from the union of two different hexagonal prisms made of perforated sheet metal superimposed so that the screens of the two elements do not coincide. The simple idea using two internal bulbs (each with its own switch) leads to an optical effect know as ‘moiré’ – that creates a fascinating geometric play of light.

The Hexx lamp was quick to sell out and is rare to find nowadays, and has become something of a design collector’s piece. It was produced in a range of just three colourways – this version in lightly sprayed green combines with the metal to give it a contemporary industrial look.

Price: 995 euro

Annie Hieronimus (France c20th)

Model ‘Amak’ lounge chair by Annie Hieronimus for Cinna 1983-86 (makers label to reverse).

A rare lounge chair designed by French designer Annie Hieronimus and executed by Cinna. This model of lounge chair very hard to find anywhere – it was only produced for three years between 1983 and 1986. Its remarkable look comes from the combination of soft folded leather that seems to bridge two large ballistic looking feet.

Price: 4.900 euro
