This extremely rare, exquisite pendant lamp, is a part of Ingo Maurer’s Uchiwa series, designed for Design M in 1974, which epitomizes the dynamic and innovating essence of 1970s design. Named ‘Hana I’, this ceiling light features six fans crafted from bamboo and rice paper, materials traditionally used in Japanese Uchiwa fans, lending the piece organic elegance. Each fan, delicately connected to the central bamboo fixture, creates an enchanting silhouette when illuminated. Light seeps gracefully through the rice paper and the cotton diffuser, casting soft, diffused radiance, while the bamboo elements cast intriguing shadows, thus creating an immersive lighting experience.

The height of the lamp is adjustable with the three small ropes, with which you can also straighten the lamps position when needed. Maurer’s ‘Hana...
