Description
Overview
Chouchin 2 is a suspension lamp giving direct light, from Ionna Vautrin for Foscarini. Its elongated shape and green colour speak of nature, tradition and elegance.
Construction
Hand-blown cased glass makes the diffuser, liquid coated and glossy, and a transparent polycarbonate support, injection moulded, carries it. A stainless steel cable hangs the lamp while a clear cable brings the current. For the canopy, a galvanised bracket in metal takes a cover of ABS that is glossy white and batch dyed.

Story
Glossy glass and a glowing base
The Chouchin family plays with the contrast between glossy coated blown glass, in warm and creamy colours that do not let light through, and a white lower portion that glows and spreads light downward. In Chouchin 2 that coloured glass is green.
Lanterns in a family
The family restyles typical Japanese lanterns in blown glass, with combinations of shapes and colours that work for multiple compositions.
