Designed by Ingo MaurerRead Bio
Originally conceived in the late 1990s, the Zettelz Pendant is one of Ingo Maurer's most famous designs. The pendant consists of a metal frame with thin, branching arms protruding in all directions. Each arm holds a piece of paper attached by a binder clip to act as the lampshade. The small pendant includes 40 pieces of blank paper, and the large pendant includes 31 printed pages and 49 blank sheets on which the user can write their own messages or drawings. The arms can also be adjusted for a looser, wider look or tighter, narrow look to suit the individual user's preference. This interactivity and room for creativity is a hallmark characteristic of many Ingo Maurer designs. The small lamp includes one bulb socket, while the larger lamp includes an extra socket to provide downward directed lighting.

About Ingo Maurer
Ingo Maurer (1932 - 2019) was a German designer known as the "poet of light" for his artful and unconventional lighting designs. Maurer was born in Reichenau Island and trained as a typesetter before studying graphic design in Munich. He moved to the United States in 1960, where he worked as a freelance graphic designer in New York and San Francisco for companies such as IBM. Maurer returned to Germany in 1963 and founded his studio Design M, later renamed to Ingo Maurer GmbH, to produce his lighting designs.
In 1966, Maurer produced the Bulb Lamp, a table lamp shaped like a light bulb with a smaller light bulb nested within. Bulb quickly became an iconic example of Pop art, and it was added to MoMA's permanent collection in 1969. His YaYaHo low-voltage wire system (1984) was an instant success, and he was commissioned to create special versions for the Villa Medici in Rome and Institut Francais d'Architecture in Paris. In addition to light fixtures, Maurer also designed sculptures and lighting installations for public spaces. He has received numerous awards for his work including an honorary doctorate from the Royal College of Art in London (2006), the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany (2010) and a Compass d'Oro award for career achievement (2011).
