Moodmoon
Made by Ingo Maurer
Sebastian Hepting conceived the Moodmoon during the stillness of 2020, when the boundaries between work, rest, and living collapsed into a single room. The moon became his reference: a light source that shifts in character across hours and seasons without ever changing its form.
The result is a lamp that holds fourteen programmable lighting moods, ranging from static pools of calm to slow, breathing movement. Washi, the traditional Japanese handmade paper revered for its translucency and quiet strength, diffuses the LED source into something that feels closer to natural light than artificial illumination.
- Fourteen distinct lighting modes, static and dynamic
- Washi paper shade for warm, diffused output
- Controlled via the Ingo Maurer Digital App
- Square format designed for wall installation
- Round variant available for ceiling use
Ingo Maurer has long treated light as a medium rather than a utility, and the Moodmoon carries that philosophy forward with precision. It is a considered response to how we actually inhabit space: differently by the hour, differently by need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is washi paper and how does it affect the light quality?
Washi is a traditional Japanese handmade paper known for its fine, even texture and high translucency. When used as a lampshade material, it diffuses light gently across its surface, softening the LED source into a warm, even glow that closely resembles natural light.
How do the fourteen lighting moods work on the Moodmoon?
The Moodmoon's moods are programmed combinations of color temperature, intensity, and movement, ranging from steady, focused light to slow, shifting cycles that simulate natural rhythms. They are selected and adjusted through the Ingo Maurer Digital App.
What is the difference between the square and round Moodmoon versions?
The square Moodmoon is configured for wall mounting, while the round variant is designed for ceiling installation. Both share the same LED and washi paper construction and offer the full range of lighting moods.
Who is Sebastian Hepting and what is his relationship to Ingo Maurer?
Sebastian Hepting is a designer who worked within the creative orbit of Ingo Maurer, a Munich-based studio renowned since the 1960s for its poetic and often experimental approach to lighting design. The Moodmoon reflects both Hepting's own sensibility and the studio's enduring interest in light as an expressive material.
Is the Moodmoon compatible with smart home systems?
The Moodmoon is controlled via the dedicated Ingo Maurer Digital App. For specific integration compatibility with broader smart home platforms, consulting the manufacturer's current technical documentation is recommended.
