Description

The Kawa Series is crafted using an unusual, painstakingly refined technique unique to Luft Tanaka. Each creation begins as a simple sketch, which is then transformed into a leather mold. After cutting, sewing, and preparing the mold for casting, liquid porcelain is poured inside, slowly forming a thin layer along the leather surface. Once the porcelain sets, the mold is carefully cut at the seams and gently peeled away, allowing the piece to be fired in a kiln.

Tactile and textured porcelain wall sconce light in a bulbous racetrack shape. The translucent porcelain diffuser casts a warm-colored glow when lit.

Made to order. The typical lead time is 6-8 weeks.
