Yakisugi Suspension Lamp
Yakisugi is a beautiful lamp with a soft and clear design line drawn by the Kengo Kuma and realized by Lasvit brand.
Kengo Kuma explains the idea behind yakisugi collection is about questioning the materiality of glass and natural wooden texture. My intention was to plumb the depth of wooden soul, captured inside the glass.” Using dry wood in place of traditional pre-soaked molds, the wood is charred by molten glass. That leaves a permanent imprint of its scorched texture on the glass surface, making each piece an authentic original. This slight modification to a centuries-old technique produced a modern and minimalistic collection that combines simple geometric forms with unusual organic textures.
