This “Kyo-Kumiko” lighting series is meticulously crafted by Kyoto-based joinery artisans without using any nails or metal fasteners by carefully assembling each wooden piece. While traditional Kumiko woodworking is typically flat, Kyo-Kumiko combines straight and curved wooden pieces to create intricate patterns on curved surfaces, something entirely new.

Made from Kyoto-grown cypress, this piece is characterized by its warm hues and subtle fragrance. The light source is wrapped in washi paper, softening the light, which beautifully highlights the intricate Kumiko craftsmanship, creating a stunning ambiance.

The shade features motifs based on traditional Japanese auspicious patterns, redesigned with a modern touch. Sized to fit on tables or shelves, it’s perfect for adding warmth to living rooms or bedrooms.
