Samurai Table Lamp
Designed by Ingo Maurer and Dagmar Mombach, the Samurai Table Lamp draws a direct line to Isamu Noguchi and the Akari tradition, a body of work rooted in the centuries-old Japanese craft of washi papermaking. The form is unmistakably organic, its irregular calyx shape suggesting a flower caught mid-bloom rather than a conventional shade.
The paper structure is formed by hand, each sheet pulled and folded through a technique that resists mechanical repetition. No two lamps are identical. Two stainless steel bars run through the center and base of the shade, anchoring the softness of the paper against a precise steel stand. The natural, uncolored paper filters light with the kind of warmth that electric fixtures rarely achieve.
- Hand-manipulated natural paper shade with an organic, calyx-like silhouette
- Two internal stainless steel bars for structural support
- Steel base stand
- Suited to nightstands, sideboards, and shelving compositions
- Each piece is unique as a result of the handmade process
The lamp functions equally as a light source and as a sculptural object, continuing Ingo Maurer's lifelong conviction that illumination and poetry are inseparable.
