Vintage floor lamp, Uchiwa by Ingo Maurer

Rare Uchiwa floor lamp designed by Ingo Maurer for M Design in 1977. This lamp is made of bamboo and papered wicker. Maurers interest in paper for lampshades was linked with his interest in Japan. This period he produced various lamps from traditional Japanese handcrafted fans called Uchiwa in Japanese. This Uchiwa floor lamp has a really nice patina and might show light traces of use.
