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. Acrylic panels with genuine gold leaf inclusions Warm, diffused glow with nuanced golden tone Designed by Axel Schmid for Ingo Maurer Suited to solitary placement or grouped arrangements Ingo Maurer's studio has operated at the intersection of art and light since the 1960s, and the 24 Karat Blau sits naturally within that legacy: rigorous in its materiality, generous in its atmosphere.
