Its structure combines a painted stainless steel internal plate with a finely crafted shade, where steel wire wrapped in washi supports the form. A natural basswood border outlines the silhouette, while discreet black-painted steel feet anchor the design. Lantern embodies a harmonious fusion of tradition and contemporary refinement, offering a luminous object that resonates with Japanese aesthetics of lightness, subtlety, and tactile beauty.

Lantern
Lantern, designed by Time & Style, is a hanging lamp that pays tribute to Japanese craftsmanship and material purity. Crafted from Sekishu washi paper—renowned for its lightness, strength, and artisanal heritage from Shimane Prefecture—the lamp diffuses a soft, delicate glow that transforms any space into a haven of calm and clarity. The traditional use of mulberry fiber and bark in the washi enhances the lantern’s durability while preserving its ethereal appearance.

Time & Style
In the forests of Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan’s main islands, the freezing winters slow the growth of trees, permitting the development after many years of high quality, dense timber. Time & Style taps into time-honored customs practiced by artisans involved in the construction of Japanese shrines and temples, an important activity with a history extending back over a millennium. This legacy is a major source of inspiration for Time & Style as it seeks to create a collection of modern furniture marked by authenticity and a deep appreciation for the past.
