Bulb table lamp Design classic
The history of the creation of "Bulb" table- and floor lamp is as simple as it is ingenious. Maurer explains that he was in Venice on business and returned to his simple hostel with a bottle of red wine after a wonderful meal. There, a 'naked' light bulb illuminated his room. "It was like a coup de foudre ('love at first sight')!" recalls Maurer. Still cheeky, he drew a lamp and the next day looked for a manufacturer on Murano, who produced an initial design for the glass within a day and a half. Back in Munich, a pressed metal base was added to the glass. "The Bulb was born!"

"The quality of the light is more important to me than the form and so I concentrated on that," says Ingo Maurer , commenting on his work as one of the most important light designers.Designer of the 20th century. His luminaire designs were preceded by the iconic luminaire "Bulb", which was created in 1966 by a twist of fate and which accompanied Ingo Maurer throughout his life: "The light bulb has always been my leitmotif, right from the start." Just three years later - in 1969 - the Bulb luminaire was added to the permanent design collection of the MoMA in New York.
With a height of 30 centimeters and a diameter of 20 centimeters, the Bulb table lamp via a two meter long cable, which is equipped with a switch. The base of the Bulb luminaire is made of high-gloss chrome-plated metal. For design reasons, Ingo Maurer originally fitted the Bulb luminaire with a 100-watt bulb. In the meantime, times and the light bulb market have changed fundamentally. For this reason, this luminaire is supplied with an LED string light source in the correct size. This Bulb light source is available in the TAGWERC Design STORE also available separately. In addition to the Bulb , there is also the B.Bulb table lamp, the portable rechargeable batterytable lamp, at TAGWERC as a separate article.
