Inspired by the tradition of 1951 Japanese Akari lanterns, the Xuanzhi table lamp uses handmade mulberry paper to soften the light into a gentle, even glow. Like the fishermen's bamboo lanterns that first inspired the design, it transforms any space with a warm, tranquil presence.
"Fishermen used lanterns to attract fish—bamboo ribs covered with fine paper. For this lamp, mulberry paper is used because it softens the light, making it gentle and diffusing it evenly."
