A hand laminated paper shade in beeswax that lays upon a structural wooden frame. The paper and wax bonds to itself eliminating any need for glue. One ribbon of inlaid bamboo ribbing keeps the lantern’s form while allowing it to become animated by a breeze or passing body.The Tian Den sconce is a continuation of the (2024) series named after Taiwanese sky lanterns. The Yame Kozo Hadaura paper absorbs daylight, revealing the frame and accentuating the vitality of the lamp when lit and unlit. Delicate details of the wood structure transform the mundane task of changing a light bulb into a ritual of care. Shown in Yame Kozo Hadaura Paper, Bamboo String, Maple. Custom materials, dimensions and finishes available.
