Inspired by a trip to Mongolia, Fukasawa was drawn to the glowing shape of the traditional nomadic tents and how they illuminated the landscape at night; symbolising the comfort and warmth that we associate with the safety of 'home'. A timeless representation of elegant simplicity, the pendant's smooth, curved shade, complemented by a super-high gloss finish, beautifully disperses the light, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. A minimal, clean aesthetic, the light can effortlessly integrate into the modern home, with a range of colours and sizes available to suit an array of differently styled interiors.
