ManOMan

ManOMan, a new suspension lamp that was first shown at Euroluce 2011 is now available. Designed for use over large tables or spaces this fixture is suspended from a single mounting point, and emits outstanding indirect lighting.

ManOMan is an airy, mobile-like sculpture with a lightweight and highly functional design. It works on ceilings where complex electrical wiring is neither necessary, nor possible. A wide diffusion of glare-free light makes it practical for effectively illuminating a variety of spaces.

Ingo Maurer and his team created ManOMan as a light-object that fuses the eloquent and airy feature of the sculptural form with quality indirect lighting.

ManOMan has a diameter of approx. 300 cm and a height of approx. 45 cm. Each of the seven arms are equipped with two 48 watt halogen bulbs.
