''What we do counts.'' Even if it means creating comical table lamps. The What We Do Counts lamps are not an end in themselves, because in addition to their functionality, they carry an important message, and they are comical not because of their funny appearance, but because they imitate the appearance of a text bubble from comics. They were not signed by a draftsman, but by the German industrial designer Ingo Maurere, who spent the last four decades of his life creating lamps and other light fixtures.
Ingo Maurere is known for his "comic" input when it comes to lamps, a table lamps What We Do Counts they are probably his the funniest so far. Not necessarily in the sense that they evoke laughter, but because they draw inspiration from comics or text bubbles. They can be seen both as a work of art and as a fully functional piece of furniture.
