Hexagonal Cork Table Lamp by Ingo Maurer for M Design, Germany 1970s

Description

Discover this rare cork table lamp designed by Ingo Maurer for M Design, Germany 1970s. This sculptural table lamp is a striking example of Maurer’s early experimental work with natural materials. The lamp features a fully geometric hexagonal structure crafted entirely from natural cork, including both the base and the faceted shade. The warm organic surface is beautifully textured with natural pores and tonal variations, giving each lamp a unique character. The architectural form reflects Maurer’s fascination with simple geometry, material honesty, and atmospheric light. When illuminated, the cork softly diffuses the light, creating a warm ambient glow that enhances the natural richness of the material. This model is extremely rare and seldom seen on the market, particularly in this signed version. It represents an unusual and collectible piece from Maurer’s early design period before his later iconic lighting experiments. The underside of the lamp retains the original Design M manufacturer’s mark and signature, confirming authenticity. A remarkable statement piece for collectors of important 20th-century design, German modernism, and Ingo Maurer works.
