Bulb Table lamp
The genesis of the “Bulb” table and floor lamp is as simple as it is ingenious. Maurer says he was working in Venice and returned to his simple hostel after a wonderful meal with a bottle of red wine. There, a ‘naked’ light bulb illuminated his room. “It was like a ‘coup de foudre’ (‘love at first sight’)!” recalls Maurer. Still tipsy, he sketches a lamp and the next day looks for a manufactory on Murano that produces a first draft for the glass within a day and a half. Back in Munich, a base of pressed metal is added to the glass. “The Bulb was born!”

“The quality of light is more important to me than the form, and so I have concentrated on that,” says Ingo Maurer about his work as one of the most important lighting designers of the 20th century. His luminaire designs are preceded by the iconic “Bulb” luminaire, which came into being in 1966 by a twist of fate and which has accompanied Ingo Maurer throughout his life: “The light bulb has always been my leitmotif, right from the start.”
With a height of 30 centimetres and a diameter of 20 centimetres, the Bulb table lamp has a two-metre-long cable that is equipped with a switch. The base of the Bulb lamp is made of high-gloss chrome-plated metal. For design reasons, Ingo Maurer originally equipped the Bulb lamp with a 100-watt bulb. In the meantime, times and the light bulb market have changed fundamentally. Therefore, an LED string bulb in the right size is already supplied with this luminaire. This bulb is also available separately in the TAGWERC Design STORE. In addition to the Bulb, the B.Bulb table lamp, the portable rechargeable table lamp, is available from TAGWERC as a separate item.
