24 Karat Blau Pendant Lamp
Made by Ingo Maurer
Designed by Axel Schmid
Axel Schmid's 24 Karat Blau pendant for Ingo Maurer is a study in poetic restraint. Geometric acrylic panels, each infused with genuine gold leaf, are arranged so that light does not simply pass through them but is transformed by them, gaining warmth and depth as it filters through the layered golden structure.
The result is an intimate, sculptural presence. At compact scale, the pendant reads as a singular object in space, as precise and considered as a piece of studio glass. Hung in multiples, the compositions it forms are atmospheric rather than decorative, closer in spirit to an installation than a lighting fixture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in the 24 Karat Blau pendant?
The pendant is constructed from translucent acrylic panels containing genuine gold leaf. The gold leaf is integrated within the panels rather than applied to the surface, giving the light it transmits a warm, layered quality distinct from metallic paint or foil finishes.
Who designed the 24 Karat Blau for Ingo Maurer?
The 24 Karat Blau was designed by Axel Schmid, a German designer who has collaborated closely with the Ingo Maurer studio. Schmid is known for work that balances conceptual clarity with precise craft, qualities that align naturally with the studio's broader design philosophy.
Can the 24 Karat Blau be used in a cluster or grouped installation?
Yes. The pendant's compact, geometric form makes it well suited to grouped arrangements. When hung in multiples at varied heights, the pendants interact with one another's light output, creating an atmospheric, installation-like composition rather than a conventional multi-lamp fixture.
What is the design philosophy behind Ingo Maurer's lighting?
Founded in Munich in 1966, Ingo Maurer's studio approaches light as a medium rather than a utility. Works frequently blur the boundary between functional object and sculpture, drawing on fine art, poetry, and material experimentation to produce pieces that are as much about atmosphere and emotion as illumination.
What kind of space suits the 24 Karat Blau pendant best?
The pendant's intimate scale and warm diffused glow make it particularly effective in spaces where atmosphere is a priority: dining areas, reading nooks, entryways, or gallery-like interiors where a single object is intended to anchor and define the room.
