ManOMan is an airy lighting object with a highly functional design. Lightweight yet large, it works on ceilings where multiple fixing points or the suspension of heavy objects is not possible. Ingo Maurer created the first version, a custom-made item for rooms in a classic Wilhelminian-style building. The ceiling with original stucco decoration, was not to be damaged. A wide diffusion of glare-free light makes it practical for effectively illuminating a variety of spaces.

​​Oh Man, It’s a Ray! also came into being during the work on this project. The photo of the maquette shows a special version of ManOMan. Like many other maquettes and special pieces, it was exhibited at our ​Munich showroom.
