Light that's light as air. The Ingo Maurer Floatation Suspension was originally designed by Maurer in 1980, featuring three crinkled Japanese paper shades nested within each other to create a soft, ethereal diffusal of light throughout a space. Height is adjustable via the Red-enameled iron ring that acts as a counterweight.

For more than 40 years Ingo Maurer has created somewhat irreverent and thought-provoking designs in a method that is more exo-modern than contemporary. These experimentalist collections enliven fashion runways, monuments and private homes, giving Ingo Maurer lighting a name that resounds in the minds of the design-forward.

The Floatation Suspension is available with the following:

Lumens

The amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.

Wattage

A measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)

Bulb Shape

Bulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.

Base

The part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.

Voltage

Indicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.

Light Color Temperature

The relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).

Average Rated Life

The average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.

CRI

CRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

Floatation Suspension is rated 3.0 out of 5 by 1.

Rated 3 out of 5 by IntDesignerMP from Impressive light We purchased this light for a reception area. Although it takes 5 different light bulbs for one fixture (one of which is a flood light), it still manages to give mostly vertical light with a soft glow elsewhere. The best part of this light is the unusual shape and style. It is impressive. The paper shade is a bit wrinkled but we are sure it will smooth out in time. the hardest part was figuring out which light bulbs are needed. slightly pricey for a paper light fixture
