Pair of Uchiwa II wall lights by Ingo Maurer, Design M 1973

Pair of wall sconces model Uchiwa II designed by Ingo Maurer in 1973 and published by Design M. Made of bamboo and rice paper, these sconces play on the lightness and transparency of natural materials, allowing a soft and diffused light to filter through. Their organic silhouette, inspired by traditional Japanese fans, perfectly illustrates Ingo Maurer's interest in luminous poetry and experimentation with materials. Edition: Design M, circa 1973. Vintage, signs of restoration.
