ERI 

Arm chair / FLEXFORM

The form is like being gently embraced by a soft collar. Seaters are able to maintain their personal space while feeling open to the outside by supporting a moderately high backrest and outline. Its plump curved leg surfaces and round backrest create a relaxed atmosphere. As well, the chair can be viewed as an element of adding feeling of ease and generousness in a space.

Bamboo Forest

Glass lighting series / BROKIS

Bamboo Forest draws inspiration from the vertical contours rising up in stands of bamboo. Conceived to evoke a unique atmospheric ambience, the handsculpted glass forms a bamboo stalk complete with the typical nodal ring, where the material thickens, creating a soft accent in the form of subtle shadows. With different sizes and varying positions of the node on the stalks, thanks to which the origins of the collection are at once recognizable, compositions of multiple lights transform the interior into a sanctuary replete with the soothing tranquillity of a natural bamboo forest.

BONBORI

Glass lighting series / BROKIS

It draws its inspiration from “bonbori”, traditional Japanese paper lights that illuminate the main roads to shrines during festivals. The word “bonbori” also refers to small houses made of snow. The gorgeous lights which illuminate them also served as a source of inspiration. BONBORI is a gentle light nestled in hand-blown glass that also pays homage to another traditional Japanese light, the “toro”. What makes BONBORI truly magical is its power to warmly illuminate both the time you spend alone as well as the time you spend with your family and friends.
