Description
Overview
Chouchin 2 Bianco is a suspension lamp from Ionna Vautrin for Foscarini. It gives a designer twist to traditional Japanese lanterns. A warm light is diffused into the surroundings, with direct down light as well.
Construction
Hand-blown cased glass, glossy, makes the elongated diffuser, and a lower ring distinguishes it. A stainless steel cable suspends the lamp, a transparent cable carries the electricity, and the ceiling canopy combines galvanised metal bracketing with a glossy white ABS cover (batch dyed).

Story
The white version
Chouchin 2 Bianco has an elongated blown glass diffuser marked out by a ring at the bottom. Warm light spreads into the room and a direct beam goes downward.
A lantern reading
The design is a reading of Japanese lanterns in a designer key. The cased glass is blown by hand with a glossy finish, and the lamp hangs from a stainless steel suspension cable beside a clear electrical wire.
