Japanese Style Hand-folded White Paper Pendant Lighting "Siphonia"

About the Item

Elegant and at the same time soft and indirect light for a unique and personal home. This Japanese style white paper pendant lighting called Siphonia is hand-folded from almost 70 sheets of paper. The Siphonia lamp is designed and artisanally produced by Charlotte Brandt for Sonobe Lights. The inspiration for these beautiful lamps comes from the 1960's; a traditional craft in a modern style. Each fold is characterized by aesthetics and simplicity in design together with craftsmanship in all processes. All Sonobe Lights are created with the heart and a big passion for paper and lights. The beautiful shape of Siphonia gives the lamp many opportunities for placement as an environmental lamp in a reading /cozy corner or nice eye-catcher in a hall. Alternatively, it is really beautiful above the dining table or in the middle of the room. Siphonia is folded from a strong specially produced 3-layer paper with a fine and light structure that can be seen when the lamp is lit. This lamp has a completely characteristic and unique light pattern, which is seen by virtue of the many folds and paper layers. In the brightest places of the lamp, you would look through a single layer of paper – in other places through the entire 11 layers. The Siphonia lamp is delivered ready to use, assembled with E27 socket and ceiling cup in stainless steel, 3m white fabric cord and plug.

  • The Shelley Light Sculpture, by Jakob Uhlin for By Republiken
    By By Republiken, Jakob Uhlin
    Located in Grythyttan, SE
    The Shelley Light, by Jakob Uhlin for By Republiken is artisanally made of recycled plastic. The triangular components constituting the pendant lamp create a captivating and faceted appearance, offering an intriguing visual impression. The lamp's three openings add a compelling three-dimensional aspect to its design. Light diffuses uniquely from various angles, providing a dynamic illumination experience. An inner shade, crafted from the same triangular building pieces, shields the light source. Our process involves collecting used household containers made of polypropylene plastics, commonly used for food containers. After thorough washing, a hand-driven punch is employed to meticulously cut out the triangular building pieces from these recycled plastic containers. This sustainable process gives new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. Every lamp sculpture is unique because each one features different images on their inside. CUSTOMIZABLE If you’re interested in a variation or customization that is not currently listed, please inquire directly so we can discuss your specifications. Size​, color​ and shape are variables that can be customized. The images displaying the smaller globular and pyramid shapes can give you an idea of the versatility of colors and shapes.
