Ingo Maurer 24 Karat Blau suspension lamp

24 Karat Blau by Ingo Maurer is an iconic suspension lamp designed by Axel Schmid for the renowned German brand Ingo Maurer. Its structure features four acrylic shades encasing authentic hand-hammered gold leaf, meticulously handcrafted in Japan. This precious material produces a remarkable optical effect: short-wave blue light filters through the layers of gold, while the yellow-gold component is reflected outward, creating an atmosphere that is warm, enveloping and extraordinarily precious. The lamp uses an E27 lampholder and is compatible with LED light sources (bulb not included).

Conceived as a design object that blurs the boundary between lighting and sculpture, the 24 Karat Blau stands out for its modular and highly customisable nature. Each shade can be oriented vertically or horizontally along the red cross of the rod, allowing for ever-changing compositions that adapt naturally to the surrounding space. The chromatic contrasts between gold, red and blue give the lamp a strongly recognisable artistic character, capable of turning any setting into a striking visual focal point. It is the ideal choice for those wishing to enhance their living room with a designer piece, while also lending itself with great elegance to contract environments, galleries and high-end residential spaces. The series is fully modular: it can be expanded with the 24 Karat Blau M set to create larger suspended installations and even more dramatic configurations.
