Alex Schmid '1000 Karat Blau' Gold Leaf Suspension Lamp for Ingo Maurer

Designed by Alex Schmid and produced by Ingo Maurer, one of the most celebrated German lighting icons since 1966. With imagination, creativity and technical prowess, Maurer’s lamps have been explicitly designed to “stimulate the imagination and excite the emotions.” Today his Munich workshop continues to craft incomparable creations true to the one of a kind spirit of the firm’s founder.

The '1000 Karat Blau' highlights the incomparable execution of where world class design and fabrication of the highest quality intersect at Ingo Maurer resulting in a lamp that can be combined to create clusters or hung and brilliantly displayed on its own. Crafted by hand and attached to the red metal frame, the 20 gold leaf shades are flattened to a thickness of 1/10th of a millimeter allowing short-wave blue light to pass through the acrylic glass and gold diffusers. While the yellow light is reflected inwards, the short-wave blue light passes through the gold molecules, causing the filament to appear blue.
