Own a true piece of mid-century modern design history with this rare large "Bulb" table lamp by renowned German lighting designer Ingo Maurer. Created in 1966 as one of Maurer's very first productions under Design M (later Ingo Maurer GmbH), this playful Pop Art-inspired masterpiece pays homage to the humble light bulb itself – an oversized, hand-blown crystal glass outer bulb enclosing a smaller internal bulb, mounted on a chrome-plated metal base.

This oversized version captures the witty, innovative spirit of the 1960s, blending minimalism with bold humor. The "Bulb" series quickly became an icon, entering the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York just years after its debut.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition with full working order. The glass is free of cracks or chips, the base shows only minimal age-appropriate patina, and it has been tested – lights up beautifully. Original wiring in great shape; uses a standard E27 bulb (included for testing).

A timeless statement piece perfect for collectors, mid-century enthusiasts, or as a striking accent in any modern interior. Don't miss this opportunity to add an authentic Ingo Maurer design icon to your collection!
