The package from Bulb includes a mirrored-dome incandescent bulb (E27, 230\/125 volts, max. 100 W).\r\nThe “ Bulb ” table lamp was designed by Ingo Maurer in 1966. Bulb was one of his first lamps in 1966 and was initially produced in a small series. Ingo Maurer had only recently returned from the U.S. and was now running a one-man operation with occasional helpers in basement rooms.\r\nThe unusual design reduced the “ Bulb ” lamp to its light source. This marked a departure from traditional lamp design featuring a shade, frame, and base. With its unconventional design, “ Bulb ” soon attracted interest and found buyers as well as imitators both at home and abroad. This success quickly earned Bulb a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.","brand":"Ingo Maurer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57322967990616,"sku":"114574","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/1760\/5208\/files\/Bulb-frei_126efbb9-53d2-4ad8-9642-dbea9f431b01.jpg?v=1779275578"},{"product_id":"ingo-maurer-lucellino-tischleuchte","title":"Ingo Maurer - Lucellino Table Lamp","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA lovingly designed table lamp\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nWith Lucellino Ingo Maurer transforms the light bulb into a flying creature.
