Shigeru Uchida

Designed by Shigeru Uchida in 1990, these handmade Washi lamps continue a 90-year heritage of craftsmanship from Gifu prefecture, Japan. The collection speaks softly through evocative organic forms and warm diffusion. The simplicity of their structure is characterized by a wire armature that dilates a continuous spiral of bamboo filament and rice paper. Available in multiple shapes and sizes—from The Egg to The Sphere—Asano lantern lamps are lovely in a group and remarkably accessible. Flat packed and gift boxed, the experience of taking an Asano light out of its box is like unfolding a precious silk.
