AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Designed in 1986 by Ingo Maurer, the Fukushu table lamp is a minimalist yet highly functional design that exemplifies Maurer’s innovative approach to lighting. The lamp features a nickel-plated metal base, metal rods, and four matte fiberglass shades. Its height is adjustable, while the light intensity is dimmable via the original transformer. The signature 'TouchTronic' system allows intuitive control: touch the right side of the base to turn it on, the left side to turn it off, and gently touch the metal rods to adjust brightness to the desired level.

This example is in great condition, with only slight signs of use on the shades, preserving its functionality and aesthetic integrity. It is fully functional and ready for use, with all electrical components in working order.

A rare and iconic example of Maurer’s visionary lighting design, blending minimalist elegance with playful, user-friendly interaction — a statement piece for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
