Ingo Maurer’s adventures in lighting are sculptural works of art that are joyfully colorful expressions of light and matter. Cuore Aperto is a modern Baroque romance in itself, complete with signature Maurer birds. What’s not to love? Hi Bruce, a neon version of a fifty-two pick-up game gone clubbing, is all about gem tones of emerald, amethyst, ruby and sapphire, while Gio Ponti and Licht.Enstein are a little more on the Liberace and Vegas side of things. Ingo, we want more. SM
NOTE: Cuore is one of 30 one-offs and prototypes by Maurer to be auctioned on November 23rd in Paris. The auction entitled ’Light is More’ – lighting objects of a century (1905-2005)“ is organized by the French auction house Artcurial. HW. Thanks Claude!

Creation. Joy. Heaven. That sums it up nicely. 100% Design London has created a rep as the design show for the avant garde. Unfortunately there's much we didn't show, there were dozens of satellite events in and around London, but what we did see made us joyful. Here's the last installment, photos after the jump.

More photos from the 100% Design London show. Part 4 tomorrow.

The clean-lined rolbloc collection designed by TOV Design thoughtfully combines stainless steel and textilene. Optional and innovative are the attractive foam cushions coated in polyurethane, which are durable, water-and uv-proof and can be delivered in any color. JGB
