Chouchin is a family of suspended lamps that
takes its name from traditional Japanese paper
and bamboo lanterns used as light and bright
signs outside restaurants and bars, or as lucky
charms outside homes. Their typical shape have
been reinterpreted in a pure contemporary style,
using an age-old material: blown glass that has
been painted to make it completely opaque and
glossy. The result combines a warm colouring,
textured and precious, with a luminous collar that
projects an intense, direct beam of light
downwards. The family includes three shapes,
each with its colour: orange for the large version,
grey for the small version and green for the
elongated one. The shape and shade accentuate
the individuality of each model, coloured in tones
that combine beautifully with each other when
used in multiple compositions.
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.
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.
