a rare and iconic piece of 1980s design by ingo maurer and franz ringelhan, produced by design m in germany. The ilios floor lamp (1983) is a poetic exploration of balance, lightness, and minimalism — a hallmark of maurer’s visionary approach to lighting.

the design features a slender black steel rod rising gracefully from a weighted metal base, topped by a small halogen light source counterbalanced by a frosted glass sphere. The light appears to float in space, creating a magical interplay between light, shadow, and tension.

this lamp is part of ingo maurer’s most celebrated early works and exemplifies his sculptural and conceptual approach to lighting design. Highly sought-after by collectors and included in several museum collections, including the museum of modern art (moma) in new york.
