Even those who, like us, have been working with outdoor lights for many years, are constantly discovering new ideas on how to make their time outside even more enjoyable. Most of the concepts are developed in a now well-established collaboration between external designers and the IP44.de team. Together we sift through new design approaches, check them for their merits and technical possibilities, and optimize them so that the end result is a technically and aesthetically perfect outdoor lights.
One of our latest innovations is called qu and is the contemporary translation of a classic lantern. For fil, on the other hand, we have refined the outdoor lampshade with fabric and in this way given its light literally fabric qualities. Both belong to our young collection of portable outdoor lamps, whose enormous success surprised us at first. On the other hand, it is true that outdoors we enjoy a vastness and a freedom that we simply do not know indoors. Outdoor lamps from IP44.de have the task of accompanying us during these starry hours.
We owe our name to a common industry standard. “IP44” essentially means that a lamp is robust and suitable for outdoor use. And that’s what our lamps are, without a doubt. However, from the very beginning, we have gone far beyond all standards. With surfaces that are as aesthetic as they are durable. With everlasting materials such as glass, stainless steel or cast aluminum. With high-quality electronic components such as our in-house innovation IvyLight, an exceptionally efficient and durable LED technology. With manufacturing partners who put it all together for us to the highest quality standards. And because our origin says something about our typically German quality standards, one day we also added the identifier “de” to our name. Since then we are called IP44.de.
While we still created the first designs with on-board resources, we soon opened up for collaboration with experienced luminaire designers and their very own ideas and concepts. This soon resulted in our first design award, and many more followed. Because our outdoor lamps are as aesthetically perfect as the most awarded interior lamps.
At the same time, we have found our place in the architectural world and, in close cooperation with planners and architects, have realized numerous commercial, public and private projects all over the world. Today, our lamps can be seen not only all over Europe, but also in the USA and Asia in many exceptionally beautiful places. And that is actually the greatest compliment you can pay us.
Today, when people ask what distinguishes IP44.de from other quite respectable outdoor lighting collections, the answer is usually: it is the combination of exceptionally aesthetic appearance with perfect function.
