A new lightweight, poetic, handcrafted project
has emerged from the joint efforts of Italian
designer Luca Nichetto and the multidisciplinary
working group Nendo founded by Japanese
architect Oki Sato - the new Kurage table lamp. In
Japanese kurage means jellyfish and the lamp
does in fact resemble a sea animal which dances
through the seas cradled by a suffused light,
obtained thanks to the use of the finest Japanese
washi paper. The diffuser is then simply rested
onto a transparent structure designed specifically
to ensure it is shadow free. Kurage is made
thanks to a very particular workmanship
technique that is based on the manufacturing of
3D washi paper. Obtained from mulberry tree
fibres, washi paper is both smooth and porous
and filters the light creating a relaxing, cosy and
emotional atmosphere. Four slender natural
coloured ashwood legs finish off the lamp
together with a white ceramic lamp holder and an
electric cable covered in a paper fibre sock.
Foscarini focuses on developing new products but chooses only to put into production those that express new ideas. While inspiration is always valued, Foscarini’s development phase sometimes takes years of progressive research to analyze materials, shapes, processes and operating modes that sometimes lead to results drastically different from the initial concept.
This is why Foscarini lamps are so innovative yet built to weather the whim of trends and become true classics.
