Japanese paper (washi) with a pattern is bonded with design mesh and used for lighting design. When it's off, it exisits as a metallic artwork, and when it's on the pattern of Japanese paper on the inside emerges to the surface.
Lighting that takes advantage of mesh's electrical conductivity. A design mesh is used for the entire shade, and the lamp can be turned on and off by touching it.
This project was acheiveable because of the mesh’s unique contradicting characteristics: metallic luster and smoothness.
The appearance of light and moiré pattern created by overlapping mesh enhance the sense of quality and aesthetics for lighting.
The special quality of our mesh is that it keeps its shape when bent, and here that is used to an advantage.
