The Enduring Appeal of Ingo Maurer's Golden Ribbon
Briefly

Ingo Maurer, a renowned German industrial designer, created a light for Casa Botines, inspired by Antoni Gaudí's architectural legacy. His design, reminiscent of a gold ribbon, highlights the interplay between light and art. The studio has since produced many variations, each embodying a weightless quality that enhances both modern and historical interiors. The piece has made a significant impact in various settings, such as in Manhattan homes and English libraries, transforming spaces with its contemporary yet poetic presence.
It looks like a ribbon that is floating, which is very much in line with how we think of objects.
I chose the color gold because it seemed to me the most suitable for the materialization of light.
