Japanese Lantern Table Lamp
Japanese Lantern Table Lamp
Inspired by the Japanese Akari lantern tradition of 1951 — the Xuanzhi table lamp uses handmade mulberry paper that softens light into a gentle, even glow. Like the fishermen's bamboo lanterns that first inspired the design, it transforms any space with a warm, tranquil presence.
"The fishermen used lanterns to attract fish — ribs made of bamboo covered with fine paper. For this lamp, mulberry tree paper is used, because it softens the light, making it gentle and spreading it evenly."
