Details

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.
