BONBORI
The bonbori collection, which was created by
world-renowned Japanese designer Fumie shibata,
is available in indoor and outdoor variants. The light
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. The indoor light features special con-
nectors developed by brokis that make it easy to
unplug and move outside to a covered exterior space,
for instance. also available in a wall variant.
