Zettel'z 5 Chandelier

The Zettel'z 5 Chandelier by Ingo Maurer is a curiously exquisite chandelier that does away with Bohemian crystal drops, instead favoring clips of stainless steel that hold scribbled notes on Japanese paper—presumably from the writing desk of an incurable romantic. Light permeates the paper mobile by way of a central diffuser of heat-resistant glass in a satin finish. In this work, the designer plays with traditional approaches to chandelier manufacturing, using precious and semi-precious materials—but is there anything so precious as a heart laid bare?

Ingo Maurer and Team have been designing and manufacturing lighting for over 40 years. Over 60 individuals work together to create products integrating artistic expression with functional elegance. Working in a Munich factory, everything they make is made with the love of detail, master craftsmanship and input from a lot of human hands. Their passion to create is as strong as their desire to share an enthusiasm for light, and quality lighting objects. They derive immense satisfaction when they are able to build emotional connections between the aesthetic and functional potential of a lamp. They love what they do everyday, and recognize how fortunate they are their creations are loved.
