IngoMaurer; He completed his training as a typographer and then a graphic designer in Switzerland and Munich (1954-1958). In 1960 he opened a small artisan workshop, Design M, which has now become an international company called IngoMaurer GmbH. At the end of his studies, he embarked on a three-year journey to the United States, where his first contact with the world of design took place. Between New York and San Francisco, he worked as an independent designer on major graphics projects related to companies such as IBM. Since the mid-sixties Ingo Maurer has been creating special lamps, lighting systems and unique pieces which as an entrepreneur he produces and distributes worldwide with his own company. Ingo Maurer has been working with his team for decades, which has grown to over 60 people over the years. Since 1970, the headquarters of Ingo Maurer GmbH in Munich has been in the Schwabing district.A few years ago, however, the production and shipping departments moved to the suburbs of Munich because the space in the backyard at Kaiserstrasse 47 became too tight in 2005. From creating amps and lighting systems, the setting up of exhibitions and trade fairs presence resulted in an increasing demand for design, lighting planning and interior architecture work.
