Chouchin 2 Bianco

Overview

Chouchin 2 Bianco is a ceiling lamp for diffused light by Ionna Vautrin for Foscarini. The diffuser is hand-blown cased glass with a glossy finish. It is open toward the bottom, so it also gives direct light on the surface below, in addition to the soft light that shows through the glass.

Construction

The Chouchin family is a design reading of the traditional Japanese lanterns it is named after, adding the charm of blown glass to a very personal shape. A coloured lower ring completes the diffuser. The ceiling mount has a reduced ferrule in painted metal and ABS, which stays discreet and leaves the glass as the main element of the space.

Hand-blown glass, open at the bottom

The diffuser is blown by hand in cased glass with a glossy finish. Because it is open toward the bottom, the lamp gives direct light on the plane below, and the diffused light that passes through the glass is added to it.

A lantern reinterpreted

Chouchin takes its name from traditional Japanese lanterns. The family reads them in a design key, and each model joins the charm of blown glass to a very personal form. The lower ring finishes the diffuser, and the small painted metal and ABS mount lets the glass lead.
