Story
Japanese lanterns, restated
The Chouchin lamps take their name from traditional Japanese lanterns and give them a designer twist. In this family, blown glass and a very personal form come together.
Light through and below the glass
The glass is open downwards. That opening gives direct light onto the surface under the lamp, and the light coming through the glass adds to the beam. A white ring at the lower edge completes the diffuser in an original way.
