Zufall Lamp by Ingo Maurer

A Zufall fell into my hands,
It twists, and asks for more
Begging to illuminate
Beauty at its core

Hold the Zufall, play with it
Let it shine, awaken
Past, present and future
Maurer has foresaken

Zufall says what you allow
The curves are soft and telling
Shape and style tied as one
Designed to be compelling

Zufall_suspended_1 Since 1966, German designer Ingo Maurer has been creating original award-winning lamps. Innovative, creative, original – Maurer is always looking for new ways to exhibit light. He has been referred to as a "magician" by others in the design community.  Ingo Maurer's designs have been featured in exhibitions around the world and received awards and prizes from leading magazines, art colleges and museums.

The Zufall table and suspension lamp arrived at Ingo Maurer in the form of happenstance. Serendipity. He was working on a special table, to be part of an exhbition, and needed a silicone part to be placed between two metal plates. When Maurer saw the silicone part, he took it out and began playing with it. The soft material is pliable and can be easily shaped. Immediately Ingo Maurer knew that this was the beginning, the first breath of a new lamp design. What a marvelous lamp he begot – the Zufall.
