Chouchin Reverse Suspension Lamp

COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

Details

Chouchin is a Japanese word meaning those traditional symbolic paper and bamboo lanterns typically used as light and bright signs outside restaurants and bars, or as lucky charms outside homes. Simple and stylish, Chouchin teams unique craft-based expertise with a modern and strikingly simple style. The Chouchin family comprises 3 models with a coloured matt glass body. Beside the first version a new one is born: Chouchin reverse. The shapes are the same but the colours have been inverted; the diffuser is now white while the collar stays the same colour as the previous shape. It is not just about a new colour, but rather a new light, a new use even. Indeed, Chouchin reverse, thanks to the pale blown glass diffuser, not only directs light downwards – like the original Chouchin - but it also diffuses a brilliant, flowing and emotional light into its surroundings.

ABOUT DESIGNER

Born in France in 1979, Ionna Vautrin is graduated from L'école de design Nantes Atlantique in 2002. She worked successively for Camper in Spain, and by the Studios of George J. Sowden in Italy and of Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec in France. At the same time she develops its own works with differents design companies: first time with Industreal in Milan, then with the Tools Galerie in Paris and since 2010 with Foscarini.

ABOUT BRAND

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.
