The Bonbori collection, which was created by world-renowned Japanese designer Fumie Shibata, is available in both indoor and outdoor variants.
The light is inspired by the traditional paper lamps that line the paths to shrines and temples during the annual paddy harvest festivals in Japan. In Japanese, the word bonbori not only denotes this traditional form of lighting, it also describes the soft light coming from within a snowy cave.
The new light uses a simple stainless-steel base finished in an environmentally friendly powder coating. The easily removable LED light source casts a gentle glow through a diffusor and laser-cut openings in the stainless steel. The likeness to the traditional bonbori lamp is achieved with an elegant handblown glass shade, an extraordinary piece crafted from multiple layers of carefully moulded glass.
The standard lead-time is 10 weeks for delivery to your project site. As each handblown light go through a strict 35-step process.
Everything is specially made-to-order.
Slight differences in colouration are inherent to the production of handblown glass, yet they must remain within tolerance.
You can request glass and finish samples, but you’d need to have a verified trade account.
Samples can be loaned via Bonbori Samples.
