Ingo Maurer

Ingo Maurer is a lighting design company based in Munich, Schwabing, Germany. According to its official site, Ingo Maurer began designing exceptional lamps, lighting systems and objects in the middle of the 1960s, and his company produces and distributes them worldwide. The company describes itself as a group of more than sixty people, with its Munich address unchanged since 1970 and a production and shipping location established on the outskirts of Munich in 2005. Its product range includes table lamps, hanging lamps, ceiling lamps, floor lamps, systems and wall lamps, alongside special pieces and discontinued models. The company also undertakes lighting commissions and interior light-planning projects.

Ingo Maurer started to design exceptional lamps, lighting systems and objects beginning in the middle of the 1960s, which his company produces and distributes worldwide. For over four working decades, Ingo Maurer and Team – as he refers to the co-workers – has constantly grown, and the company describes itself as a group of more than sixty people. The address in Munich, Schwabing has remained the same since 1970. In 2005 the company outgrew its production facilities in the courtyard at Kaiserstrasse 47 and established a new location for production and shipping on the outskirts of Munich; in the former production hall, Ingo Maurer and his team created a spacious showroom, the second after New York and the only one in Europe. The project department evolved from the design of exhibitions at trade fairs, festivities and special installations of the YaYaHo lighting system, and the company takes on commissions for lighting as well as interior light-planning. The company states that the farewell of Ingo Maurer in October 2019 is a big break for it and a great challenge, and that even in October 2020 it was still difficult to find the right words.
