Description

BLOSSOM — a light object featuring 1,000-3,000 translucent, hand folded paper petals. Each is made from a fine Japanese paper composite, called shoji paper, carefully placed into a handmade, spherical shade. The handcrafted edition BLOSSOM forms a bridge between Asian paper art and 19th-century lamp shade manufacturing.

ABOUT SHOJI PAPER
In Japan, shoji elements traditionally take the form of lightweight sliding doors, room dividers or windows. Shoji symbolise deep respect for natural materials and the harmonious blending of interior and exterior spaces — a basic principle of Japanese architecture. Shoji paper allows diffuse light to pass through, creating a soft, calm atmosphere. The material offers maximum translucency, low transparency and minimum thickness. It is usually white or natural white. Shoji paper is characterised by high tear resistance, as well as dimensional stability in changing climates. Thanks to these properties, elements made with shoji paper retain their shape, even if exposed to moisture. Shoji paper has been produced for over seven
centuries, thus prevailing as a timeless material.
