Ingo Maurer (Reichenau Island, Germany, 1932 – Munich, 2019) was a German industrial designer who specialised in the design of lamps and light installations. He was nicknamed "poet of light", a well deserved title for his lamp and lighting system combining design, technology and poetry.
The designer began working on these projects in the 1960s, producing them himself in the "Design M" workshop he founded in Munich in 1966. The ability to make his ideas into reality himself, without any compromises, became one of his strong points. With time his crafts workshop became Ingo Maurer GmbH, an international company that distributes lighting systems, lamps and unique items designed by Ingo Maurer and his team all over the world.
