Story
An homage to the Far East
Tatou is an homage to the Far East: Patricia Urquiola envisioned a lamp inspired by the shapes of classic Japanese armours, seen as a model of strength, but also flexibility.
A poetic pattern of shells
The shade is made of perforated shells in a poetic pattern, and the pattern filters and shapes the light.
