Two new limited edition wall lights in collaboration with the London-based Japanese artist Kuniko Maeda join the collection for Spring. The lights are loosely inspired by Karl Blossfeldt’s precise botanical photographs, working with paper from one of the last handmade paper makers in Britain, The Paper Foundation, based in the Lake District.
The delicate shades of the ‘Mallow’ and ‘Dragon Head’ wall lights incorporate the traditional Japanese technique of kakishibu, painted with the dye from unripe persimmons. This mellow, amber-coloured pigment is carefully applied by hand to add rigidity to the paper’s natural fibres and will age and fade beautifully over time, enhancing the inherent beauty of the paper.
