Description
Off the rocky coast of Sweden, the high and triangular roof of Archipelago House by Norm Architects suggests the shape of their pendant lamp N-PL01, originally designed for the summer residence. The shade is finished with a single piece of Washi paper — a material with centuries of history behind it. That paper comes from Kojima Shouten, a Kyoto workshop founded between 1789 and 1801, where every step of the process is still done by hand, from splitting bamboo to painting the finished lanterns. Fixed at the bottom of the shade by a few magnets, the Washi cleverly hides and diffuses warm, indirect illumination both downward and to the sides.
