Design M - Ingo Maurer, Franz Ringelhan - Lamp - Ilios - Metal, Porcelain - Ingo Maurer Ilios lamp

Ilios Floor Lamp – Ingo Maurer & Franz Ringelhan – Design M (1983) Height: 190 cm Condition: Excellent vintage condition A rare and iconic piece of 1980s design by Ingo Maurer and Franz Ringelhan, produced by Design M in Germany. The Ilios floor lamp (1983) is a poetic exploration of balance, lightness, and minimalism — a hallmark of Maurer’s visionary approach to lighting. The design features a slender black steel rod rising gracefully from a weighted metal base, topped by a small halogen light source counterbalanced by a frosted glass sphere. The light appears to float in space, creating a magical interplay between light, shadow, and tension. This lamp is part of Ingo Maurer’s most celebrated early works and exemplifies his sculptural and conceptual approach to lighting design. Highly sought-after by collectors and included in several museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Details: Designer: Ingo Maurer & Franz Ringelhan Model: Ilios Manufacturer: Design M Year: 1983 Country: Germany Height: 190 cm Materials: Steel, glass, and metal base Light source: Halogen bulb (G4) Condition: Excellent vintage condition – minimal signs of age, fully functional A timeless example of German avant-garde lighting design — elegant, rare, and instantly recognizable. Only pick-up
