London designer Anthony Dickens was inspired by the traditional Japanese lantern made from washi paper, which dates back to the 14th century. The paper, used by Isamu Noguchi to create the famous Akari lamps, is resilient and ductile, even malleable. It has a warm texture that filters in a soft, gentle light. Santa & Cole relies on the hands of experts in the Japanese city of Mito for manufacturing the paper, one of the cities specialized in its production. Tekiò, the Japanese word for adaptation, merges ancient artisan techniques with LED technology that enables control of intensity and color temperature. Linear or circular shapes can be created by combining various modules. The fixture comes with the option of either a circular or rectangular canopy, available in white. Produced by the Barcelona-based lighting purveyor, Santa & Cole.
