About the Item
This sculptural Japanese lamp features a handwoven bamboo shade in the form of a perfect sphere, composed of richly stained bamboo strips intricately interlaced in a traditional basketry style. The sphere rests atop a glossy black lacquered wooden base, accented with brass fittings. The lamp is touch-activated — a gentle tap on the base turns it on and off, adding a modern sensory function to its organic form.
A sticker on the base indicates it’s designed for AC 100V, 25W, with usage instructions and safety warnings in Japanese. It was likely produced in Japan in the late 20th century and reflects a harmonious blend of artisanal craftsmanship and minimalist design.
