This exceptional table lamp combines distinctive design with a warm, inviting ambiance. It was designed in 1974 by Wilhelm Zanoth in collaboration with the German lighting designer Ingo Maurer (1932–October 2019) for M-Design.

The cork body lends the lamp a particularly pleasing, organic presence. The material exudes tranquility and warmth, bringing a natural sense of comfort to the room. At the same time, the design's clean lines create a timeless modernity that blends harmoniously into both classic and contemporary interiors.

The lamp truly shines when placed on a sideboard, side table, or console: it provides soft, atmospheric light while simultaneously creating a striking design statement. The result is a design object that is not only functional but also lends the room a calm and stylish atmosphere.

The design reflects the experimental use of materials characteristic of the 1970s and simultaneously represents the innovative approach for which Ingo Maurer gained international renown. His work continues to influence modern lighting design and is found in numerous important collections.
