ZETTEL'Z 5 pendant light

Uplight and one downlight

As early as 1997, Ingo Maurer designed the pendant light Zettel'z 5, with which he - as so often - broke with conventional ideas of a pendant light . The luminaire has a diameter of 120 centimeters and is equipped with two light sources, an uplight and a downlight. These have E27 sockets, which means they can be used with all corresponding light bulbs within the recommended light output. The Zettel'z 5 pendant light is equipped with a 3.3 meter long power cable as standard, but can alternatively be ordered with a TAGWERC but can also be ordered with a 6 meter long cable suspension. For small room situations, we recommend the Zettel'z 6 with a diameter of 80 centimeters, a light source and DIN A6 Washi sheets.

Washi as a world cultural heritage

Washi is the name of the Japanese paper used for the Zettel'z pendant lights from Ingo Maurer . Despite its filigree nature, this special paper is many times stronger and more durable than local paper made from cellulose. It is made from fibers of Japanese wood species using traditional production techniques and was declared an intangible world cultural heritage in 2014. TAGWERC offers the original Zettel'z 5 paper sheets as two different sets of spare parts: 80 blank sheets or 31 printed and 49 blank sheets.

Masterpiece of design and craftsmanship

One thing is certain: The Zettel'z 5 pendant light from Ingo Maurer is undoubtedly a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. With its unique shape, its versatility and adaptable silhouette, its timeless elegance and, last but not least, its sustainability, the Zettel'z 5 simply combines everything you could wish for in a room light. The lamp is therefore not only a fully functional lighting element, it also lends any room a special atmosphere.

Quality of light

"The quality of the light is more important to me than the form and so I concentrated on that," said Ingo Maurer , commenting on his work as one of the most important lighting designers.Designer of the 20th century. His lighting designs are preceded by the iconic "Bulb", which was created in 1966 by a twist of fate and has accompanied Ingo Maurer throughout its life: "The light bulb has always been my leitmotif, right from the start." Maurer's designs are diverse and are sometimes created in symbiotic cooperation with other designers, such as in 2012 with Moritz Waldemeyer for the LED luminaire with the telling name "My New Flame".
