SCARABOY – A lamp where sculpture and industry meet in a strange way.

“Scaraboy” is an homage to Ingo Maurer.

“ ... Ingo introduced my lamp at the Salone del Mobile design fair in Milan, in September
1988. We called the lamp “Scaragoo”. 20 years later we thought I should design a new,
industrial version of the lamp.

I wanted two major differences in my new design: the new lamp would have a fixed
position, and the entire body (=shade) should glow. I spent a week at Ingo Maurer GmbH
in Münich working on my new lamp. We gave him the name “Scaraboy”.

But “Scaraboy” wasn’t ready for next year’s launch calendar, and Ingo was truly sad
about the bad timing. He said: “Take him home and produce the lamp yourself..! ”
So – Scaraboy is now in production, and available on stefanlindfors.shop. And the rest is
history.

In 1987 Ingo Maurer came to Helsinki to do a show of his lamp design, and by coincidence he spotted a student work of mine; an adjustable table lamp. He wanted to produce my lamp even though it certainly wasn’t designed for industrial production. A man of his word as he was, Ingo introduced my lamp at the Salone del Mobile design fair in Milan, in September 1988. We called the lamp “Scaragoo”. 20 years later we thought I should design a new, industrial version of “Scaragoo”. I wanted two major diﬀerences in my new design: the new lamp would have a fixed position, and the entire body (=shade) should glow.

I spent a week at Ingo Maurer GmbH in Münich working on my new lamp. We gave him the name “Scaraboy”. But “Scaraboy” wasn’t ready for next year’s launch calendar, and Ingo was truly sad about the bad timing. He said: “Take him home and produce the lamp yourself..!” So… “Scaraboy” found a good spot in my living room, and all these years this first prototype has given me light, as well as wonderful memories with my friend Ingo (1932-2019). When I made the decision to found a new product design brand, I found it natural to launch our webshop with the all new and finalized “Scaraboy” – as an homage to my very dear friend Ingo Maurer, RIP.
