Dream Table Lamp

Dream

Dream is a table lamp designed to give soft ambient light. The base is shaped like a pillow and is made of concrete, while the diffuser is a blown glass globe made by hand in Venice. Concrete is often seen as hard, cold and heavy, so the form was modeled to look soft, light and warm. An innovative molding method and a very fine grained concrete give the surface a uniform texture with no visible bubbles. The lamp measures 24 by 24 by 14 centimeters and uses a dimmable G9 bulb, so the warm light can be adjusted.

Space Lamp

Space

Space is a table lamp inspired by the surfaces of planets. The lamp consists of a table lamp base, a spherical shade and an OLED lamp body.

A bright beam passes through an opening in the sphere and lights the area below, while the irregular translucent texture spreads a soft glow. Space also serves as a decorative object when not in use.

Waon lighting

Waon

Waon is a wall-mounted lighting fixture made with Mino washi, a paper unique to Japan. The design refers to the papermaking process, in which the fibers are shaken in water to spread evenly. The washi is folded and twisted into pleats to form a large curved surface. Thin acrylic plates hold the paper in place, so no visible frame is needed and the paper appears to float. The gap between the paper and the wall also serves as heat dissipation space for the three bulbs, which can be replaced easily. The soft light suits entrances, lobbies and bedrooms.
