Description
Struck by the absence of lamps in traditional Japanese homes, we realised the importance of the translucent partition as the central device for lighting the home. Studying traditional Japanese partitions is also a way of delving back into the history of the medieval oiled paper windows that preceded glass tiles. It’s also a way of rediscovering the type of light distribution that was the norm in France a few centuries ago. We set about carrying out an archaeology of light based not on matter, but on the light wave.
We worked with Procédés Chénel, a company specialising in the design of technical paper, to obtain a paper with the same aesthetic qualities as parchment and washi paper, but with more interesting technical characteristics for domestic use.
Made in french oak tinted with a special wenge water tint, the woodwork is carried out in our Parisian workshop by master cabinetmaker Victor Robin.
