Table lamp I Ricchi Poveri Monument for a Bulb
Designer table lamp I Ricchi Poveri Monument for a Bulb pays homage to the traditional light bulb. The mere size ratio between the little figures which are positioned on the base plate and the traditional light bulb speaks volumes about how important the traditional light bulb is to the designer Ingo Maurer. The name of the table lamp, I Ricchi Poveri Monument for a Bulb, reveals that Maurer wanted to pay homage to the traditional light bulb once again with this designer piece. In this light, the traditional light bulb and thus the light sit enthroned above everything - even above the people. The little figures which are gathered around the base of the traditional light bulb are made of nickel silver. Whether they are placed in the immediate vicinity of the luminous monument or at certain distance from it is at your own discretion, as they are not fixed to the base plate, but can be freely positioned. Like a memorial, the light bulb, which is held by thin brass rods, sits enthroned over the people. It is supplied with power via a soldered red wire which disappears in the base plate and culminates in a connection jack there. The light bulb is an exception to the EU Regulation 244/2009, is produced specially for Ingo Maurer GmbH and can be used exclusively in models from the I Ricchi Poveri series. A slide control on the electronic transformer can be used to seamlessly dim I Ricchi Poveri Monument for a Bulb. This extraordinary table lamp is exhibited in Ingo Maurer’s showrooms in New York and Munich. Energy efficiency class:C
