This series of floor lamps in solid wood is a tribute to both the
historic woodcraft of Kyoto and the early years of Japanese
aviation. The lamps’ structure invokes the intricacy of Japanese
toy aircraft – in particular the Yoshida Hishou, an A-shaped
plane fitted with two reverse propellers that successfully crossed
Tokyo’s Sumida River in a 1911 model-aircraft contest.
The shade is created using Japan’s Unesco-listed washi paper,
by the craftspeople of Kyoto, traditional makers of Japan’s
distinctive wagasa (umbrellas made with washi and bamboo).
Emitting a gentle, warm-toned light and creating a soft
shadow play, the Kyoto Lamp enhances interiors through
both its form and effect.
