Ingo Maurer Cocoon-shaped floor lamp Wo-Tum-Bu 1 with dimmer

Aesthetic floor lamp Wo-Tum-Bu 1 with sliding dimmer For the handmade floor lamp Wo-Tum-Bu 1, Ingo Maurer was inspired by the Japanese sculptor Isamu Noguchi. Based on his name, an entire series of lights was created in collaboration with Dagmar Mombach: “The MaMo Noochies”. The lights in this collection are all characterised by their natural, organic shapes. The lampshade of Wo-Tum-Bu 1 is elaborately folded and pulled by hand in several steps. It is shaped until the design is reminiscent of a cocoon. The Japanese paper which is used to make the lampshade captivates people with its characteristically ribbed surface, which is shown to particular advantage when light falls upon it. The solid, untreated concrete base of Wo-Tum-Bu 1, which represents an appropriate contrast to the thin, light paper lampshade, is also worth a mention. Wo-Tum-Bu 1 is a designer piece which is equally suitable for use in a living room at home and in entrance areas of hotels or other public buildings, where it not only provides an atmospheric additional light, but also acts as an aesthetic style element at the same time. To adjust the brightness to your individual requirements, the floor lamp is equipped with a sliding dimmer. Particular care is required when handling this designer light, so that its beauty is preserved in the long term. The paper lampshade may not be wiped with a damp cloth under any circumstances, but must be cleaned with a duster, brush or similar. The concrete base should not come into contact with greases such as hand cream or other liquids, as these leave behind traces on the surface. To avoid discolouration, it should, therefore, only be touched with dry, clean hands or with gloves.
