Description

The Motarasu Cho Table lamp is the result of a study on shapes appearing when adding pressure to an oval piece of paper.

The Cho is a sheet with two curved pressings, gently wedged into a slim metal frame.

As a wing catch carrying itself resiliently between two pylons.

Here it unfolds into a poetic shade that spurs on creative interpretation of the beholder and changes at the point of view.

Cho means butterfly in Japanese which is how the shape speaks to the designers.

The lightness of the shade meeting the solidity of the steel base, white meeting black.

The Cho table lamp comes in two sizes. The large version with the long legs is ideal as a floor lamp,

slightly offset from the wall, while the little one is just the perfect table companion.

Dimmable, elegant, giving volume while being transparent.
