Ingo Maurer presented two very large lighting objects at Spazio Krizia 2006 in Milan earlier this month: LED wallpaper (above with a luminous table in the foreground) and a magic carpet of green circuit boards and LEDs suspended from the ceiling, both with adjustable colored LEDs. Says Ingo, βNew technologies and materials constantly spark my interest and imagination. We work with highly innovative technology β as well as simple materials β to give form to my aesthetical ideas, sometimes called poetic.β. Also on show, another lighting object for the Atomium. UPDATE: The computer controlled laser lamp shade attributed to Ingo Maurer here is actually made by designers Ingo presented this year together with his own show at Spazio Krizia. Designers Hannes Koch, Florian Ortkrass and Stuart Wood of rAndom international are the creators.
