Designed in 2002, Ingo Maurer's Birdie suspension light is part of his much-loved an iconic family of light bulbs with wings that started with the designer's Lucellino table lamp. Its name is a clever portmanteau - in Italian, "luce" meaning light and "uccellino" meaning little bird. Its form is quite literally a proprietary light bulb with affixed hand-crafted goose feather wings - twelve examples have been "tethered" to its central core creating the illusion that the winged bulbs have taken flight. Cables are available in red or transparent. Ingo Maurer's treatment of the bulb form has always been an integral part of the lamp's overall aesthetic. Employing elaborate LED technology that was developed collaboratively by Ingo Maurer and Toshiba Materials, the goal was to create an LED bulb form that mimics the aesthetics associated with the frosted bulb of the original design yet dims like an incandescent bulb. The resulting TRI-R bulb is a technological masterpiece and is quite hard to distinguish from the bulb used in the lamp's original design. It's manufactured exclusively for Ingo Maurer. Ingo Maurer's designs are included in the permanent collections of several museums worldwide including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Philadelphia Museum of Art; and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. Manufactured by Ingo Maurer.
