Story
Niji, the Japanese word for rainbow
NIJI means rainbow in Japanese. On this lamp the arc is the quintessence of the design.
An arch with nothing else
Studio Shulab started from the arch shape placed at the centre and then removed everything else, so that only movement and colour remain. The arc is a bent steel tube of 25 mm diameter that carries a pebble-shaped light head, and the base is 35 cm in diameter.
