Nagoya

Nagoya draws inspiration from the traditional, rectangular Japanese floor lamps of the mid-Edo period; it’s made of beautiful, rare Akita cedar and handmade washi paper. Thanks to careful research about historical books and antique objects, today Nagoya is a lamp with a balanced design made of Akita cedar, a wood that doesn’t crack, warp, expand or shrink and is easy to work. This Japanese floor or desk lamp is a masterpiece of light and matter; the frame is assembled by a master woodworker who specialises in lamp making and applies wood joinery methods without the use of hardware.
