VISITS TO TRADITIONAL JAPANESE WASHI

PAPERMAKERS INSPIRED NORM ARCHITECTS TO

CREATE THE HASHIRA COLLECTION. A FUSION OF

EAST AND WEST, TRADITION AND MODERNITY,

AND A PERFECT BALANCE OF AESTHETICS AND

PROPORTION AND SIMPLICITY AND CHARACTER,

HASHIRA IS EQUALLY SUITED TO PRIVATE HOMES AS

IT IS TO RESTAURANTS, HOTELS AND OFFICE SPACES.

The Hashira Collection is a modern, Nordic take on the

traditional Japanese rice paper lantern. Taking its name

from the Japanese word for column or pillar, the textile

lamps fill a space with cosy, ambient light and, true to the

nature of the lantern that inspired the collection’s creation,

the slender structure is visible through the shade, lending

the glowing column a graphic expression. The lamp is

offered in table, floor and pendant iterations, and the

subdued silhouette and versatile nature of its design make it

ideal in a private home – placed on the floor, atop a console

or suspended from the ceiling – as well as in a professional

setting, alone or in clusters. The translucent textile shade

not only acts as a diffuser, projecting the light in multiple

directions while creating a cosy, glare-free ambience, it

also adds palpable appeal that enhances the softness of an

interior – acoustically as well as tactilely.
