Lamps, an indoor light shaped by Japanese craftsmanship

Introduction to the collection

The Lamps collection highlights an approach to indoor lighting where light becomes a material in its own right. It is currently centered around the Torchin lamp, created by the Japanese workshop Shiraki Kougei, known for its precise woodwork and dedication to traditional crafts. Inspired by the shape of a torch, this lamp revisits an ancient archetype through a contemporary, simple, and practical interpretation. Each piece is designed as a lasting object, made to accompany daily life while casting a warm and controlled light, deeply connected to the Japanese culture of space and privacy.

Objects designed for daily use

The Torchin lamp is made for regular indoor use, both as a functional light source and as an element of atmosphere. Its solid wood frame, crafted with great care, ensures stability and durability. The lampshade is made of Japanese washi paper, a traditional material made from plant fibers, known for its strength and its ability to softly diffuse light. This combination provides a gentle, non-harsh lighting, comfortable for the eyes, ideal for work or relaxation areas, especially in the Office realm.

How to use these pieces daily

Placed on a desk, shelf, or low table, the Torchin lamp naturally adapts to different times of the day. The adjustable lampshade allows directing the light as needed, whether for reading, writing, or supplementary lighting. The washi paper softens the light and creates a calm atmosphere, conducive to focus or rest. Paired with items from the Furniture collection, it helps shape the space without overloading it, bringing a discreet and balanced luminous presence.

Tips for choosing well and making your objects last

Choosing a Torchin lamp means considering its placement and the desired mood. The solid wood, selected for its sturdiness and natural grain, changes over time and develops a unique patina. The washi paper, though light in appearance, is made to last when used indoors, away from excessive dampness. A gentle dusting is enough to keep it in good condition. This lamp naturally fits into a sensitive and tangible world, alongside objects from the Decoration collection.

Exploring other complementary realms

The Lamps collection converses with other realms dedicated to atmosphere and the rhythm of daily life. It naturally pairs with Candles, to create more intimate light plays, as well as with the Incense collection, where light and ritual meet. These connections allow for composing peaceful spaces, designed to slow down and pay special attention to sensations and material.

A collection to discover

The Lamps collection offers a demanding and sensitive vision of indoor lighting, rooted in Japanese artisanal tradition. With the Torchin lamp by Shiraki Kougei, it showcases an object shaped from simple and noble materials, where wood and washi paper converse to offer a soft and controlled light. A deliberately pared-down selection, made for those seeking authentic pieces, capable of transforming a space through the precision of light and the quality of the craft.
