Ingo Maurer Babadul LED floor lamp dimmable
Fascinating work of light art - LED designer floor lamp Babadul with dimmer Is it an animal mask? Or rather a calyx as it is typical for a calla, for example? Or does this abstract structure remind of something completely different? Which associations the LED floor lamp Babadul actually awakens, is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. What is quite obvious about the designer lamp, however, is the detailed handicraft in which its shade was created. Japanese paper serves Babadul as a basic material. In numerous production steps, the paper is folded and pulled in Dagmar Mombach's manufactory in such an elaborate and meticulous way until it has reached its final shape. Inside the shade is an LED light source that not only provides a warm glow, but can also be varied in brightness via the integrated cord dimmer. The paper used is an untreated natural product. The processing is based on a patented Japanese textile dyeing technique. Each lampshade is unique. In order to preserve the appearance and texture of the paper for a long time, it is essential to protect the lamp from the effects of moisture. Strong sunlight and draughts should also be avoided. The paper can be carefully pulled apart to bring it into shape, but should not be overstretched so that it does not lose its tension. Dagmar Mombach has designed the light collection "The MaMo Nouchies" together with Ingo Maurer. All the lamps from this collection have in common the use of Japanese paper as well as their shades made of this material. Isamu Noguchi, a Japanese-American sculptor and designer born in 1904, was not only the inspiration for the design of the lamps, but also for the naming of the collection. The title "The MaMo Nochies" is composed of the three names Maurer, Mombach and Noguchi. Among other things, Noguchi was known for his light dispensers made of Japanese paper.
