Discover the 'ME-LOOK 03' by Hayashi Kogei, a historic Gifu workshop blending 1,300 years of Mino Washi tradition with modern artistry. This lamp features unique 'Merukku' paper, crafted by intertwining delicate spiderweb-like threads with Kozo (mulberry) fibers during the papermaking process. Its stable cube design, measuring 12.2" (31cm) high and 9.8" (25cm) wide, strikes a perfect balance between modern aesthetics and Japanese serenity. Ideal as a compact floor lamp, it also serves as a beautiful accent on a bedside table or shelf. The complex, warm light filtering through the intricate shade casts deep shadows, infusing your space with a sense of wa (Japanese harmony) and healing.
