Here we YaYaHo again in Copenhagen: We've just returned from Milan Design Week with our new YaYaHo elements, and we're already full of energy and ready to take our new products on their next journey to Alice Folker gallery. Plus: Our brilliant Head of Product and Project Design Axel Schmid will be talking with the fantastic journalist Marlene Toldbod Jakobsen about "Mishmash in design": Why mishmash is a legit option to clean combination. Join Axel Schmid, Head of Product & Project Design for Ingo Maurer, and local journalist Marlene Toldbold Jakobsen for an exclusive conversation about the creative power of contrasts, unexpected pairings, and the beauty of unconventional design approaches. How can we grapple the chaos?

During this year’s Milan Design Week, Ingo Maurer unveiled new elements for the classic YaYaHo luminaire. With geometric shapes, familiar materials such as Japanese paper and technical updates, the Ingo Maurer team has now given the 1984 low-voltage system a modern makeover. The showroom was also an Ingo Maurer first: for the first time, we have set up shop at Via Varese 13 and brought the space to life with light. The space was used to showcase the versatility of the YaYaHo system: whether stretched from wall to wall, mounted at right angles or diagonally, used as a room divider or arranged as a sculptural composition – YaYaHo offers plenty of scope for creativity, true to Ingo Maurer’s motto: ‘This lamp needs a co-designer.’ As is traditional, Ingo Maurer hosted the official opening ceremony on Tuesday evening, which formed part of the Via Varese Opening.
