for nearly 150 years, japanese company hiyoshiya has been designing and
manufacturing lamps using the same techniques involved in the production
of traditional wagasa umbrellas.

'kotori', the latest piece to join the collection will be displayed at nime studio
in zona-tortona at milan design week 2011. influenced by the way sunlight
shines through an open japanese umbrella, the lamps - available in hanging
and standing versions - feature carefully hand-crafted washi paper and bamboo
shades, which light softly filters through.
