The Hashira Floor Lamp from Audo Copenhagen, formerly known as Menu, presents a stylish mix of Nordic minimalism and Japanese tradition. Designed by Norm Architects, it uses a small rounded base to hold lamping within a cross-framed cylinder with an outer layer of translucent fabric. The name Hashira is the Japanese word for pillar or column and was chosen to reference the fixture’s shape, highlighted again by the gentle diffusion of illumination through the fabric shade layer that bathes its surroundings in a warm glow.
