Kensho Light by Astrid Hauton

About the Item

Kensho light by Astrid Hauton Dimensions: W 37 x D 18 x H 59 cm Materials: woven washi paper, waxed black Valchromat, polyphane, Japanese paper, removable cover in opalescent plexiglass. « Kensho », in Zen tradition, refers to the experience of enlightenment, of seeing our true nature. The Kensho lamp has been created to embrace this concept by transcending the usual form and fonction of tatami. Combined with washi paper, it turns into a light. The presence of the Kensho lamp is an invitation to see beyond our common sense of reality. The Kensho lamp is part of the Kawayama collection. Made from the weaving mat that covers the tatamis, the Kawayama collection takes this iconic element of the Japanese culture to a new dimension. Traditionally flat and straight, the tatami suddenly expands in volume and curves, to become luxury homeware and contemporary furniture. Each object is made by hand, following a unique and meticulous process, which reveals the surprising structural properties and sublimates the vibrant effect of this woven material. The KENSHO lamp comes in different colour combinations. The electric cable can be in light or dark gray. Astrid Hauton Inspired by the Asian culture and the practice of Zen, Astrid Hauton creates high quality objects and decors, with clean lines, which invite contemplation and inspire inner calm. After graduating from ENSCI-Les Ateliers, Astrid chose to work with artisans in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, where she collaborated with NGOs for 3 years. In contact with them, she discovered local know-how and materials, and learned about oriental wisdom. Back in Paris, she created the studio in 2015 and joined the Ateliers de Paris. Following her artistic residency in Kyoto in 2017, Astrid started to study Zen philosophy and Feng-Shui principles, which enlighten her on the art of living a harmonious life. Her approach to design consists of considering “interior” and “interiority” as intrinsically linked. To combine the art of living “at home” with the art of living “in ourselves”, in order to better inhabit the world. Astrid Hauton Studio explores know-how and sublimates materials, to create collections of singular objects in limited series. The studio collaborates with prescribers, architects and brands, to jointly design soothing spaces thanks to tailor-made creations.
