Description

Kawa Series 01 is a sconce by Luft Tanaka Studio, made with an unusual, painstakingly refined technique unique to the studio. Each piece begins as a sketch, translated into a leather mold; after cutting, sewing and preparing the mold, liquid porcelain is poured inside to form a thin layer along the leather surface, then the mold is cut at the seams and peeled away before firing.

The result is a tactile, textured porcelain sconce in a bulbous racetrack shape, its translucent diffuser casting a warm-coloured glow when lit.

Available as a 120V or 220V fixture for any country, with two G9 sockets, fully dimmable. Ships as a hardwired fixture; inquire to customise as plug-in. Made to order, typical lead time 6–8 weeks.
