The very first outdoor lighting collection in the brokis
portfolio, bonbori was created by world-renowned
Japanese designer Fumie shibata. This successful
collection has now been expanded with wall-mounted
lights based on the original smaller bonbori lamp.
The bonbori Wall comes in two variants, the first of
which respects its traditional pedigree and is called
bonbori Wall Up. The second light is called bonbori
Wall down and, as the name suggests, is a mirror
image of the former. both variants are well suited to
interior and exterior installation. The bonbori family
is inspired by the traditional paper lamps that line
the paths to shrines and temples during the annual
paddy harvest festivals in Japan. in Japanese,
the word ‘bonbori’ not only denotes this traditional
form of lighting, but it also describes the soft light
coming from within a snowy cave. The gentle light
of bonbori pays tribute to a traditional Japanese
lantern. its skilfully crafted handblown glass and soft
luminescence create a magical and festive ambience
to be enjoyed as thoroughly in solitude as with family
and friends.
