Lighting concept for a newly developed quarter
Belval, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg

​On July 4, 2014 Ingo Maurer’s lighting concept for Esch-Belval will be inaugurated. It consists of the lighting of the blast furnaces and ‘street lights”. Already in 2006, he was commissioned to design the concept, and decided to use mainly white lights in various nuances.

​„Standing in front of the furnaces is a very moving and emotional experience. They are the ‘cathedrals’ of the new part of Esch-sur-Alzette“, said Ingo Maurer in 2008 during a test lighting. „It was a huge challenge to provide a fitting lighting concept, and of course it is also a challenge to conserve them.“

Whisper Wind
OLED Object in cooperation with Konica Minolta

​At light+building in Frankfurt, Ingo Maurer exhibited a new lighting object with flexible OLED panels by Konica Minolta.The structure of Whisper Wind bends like a tree in the wind. 25 thin, shining panels are attached by delicate wires to the bar, which has two ‚branches‘. The magnets also conduct the electrical current. Flexibility and airiness are the main characteristics of all elements of Whisper Wind.

​The OLED panels by Konica Minolta are flexible and even thinner than the glass OLEDs with which Ingo Maurer has created several experimental objects and a table lamp in limited production in the past.
