Bauhaus Archiv / Museum fur Gestaltung, Klingelhoferstrabe 14, D 10785 Berlin , Germany

Always committed to handcraft, full of creative ideas and distinguished by technical innovations, they have become milestones of lighting design. In 1966, Maurer made the light source itself into the subject of his designs with the Bulb lamp, which brought his international breakthrough. The light bulb has remained a leitmotif in his work up to the present day. With the introduction of a silicon sheath (Euro Condom), he is currently protesting against the sales prohibition of incandescent bulbs. In addition, he is working on the development of a new type of light bulb, called WonderLux, in an effort to bring his enthusiasm for the incandescent light bulb into harmony with energyefficient light sources.

This past February, Maurer was honoured for his lifes work with the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany. To mark the occasion, the Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design is presenting a comprehensive exhibition of his work from 4 June through 30 August 2010 under the title Complete with bulb  Lights by Ingo Maurer.
