paper ice cream

Nichetto:
Ice candies come in different flavours, shapes and colours. What about a lighting fixture that combines the rich variety of ice candies with their beauty when held up to light?
Nendo:
Carving the ends of 12mm diameter Japanese cypress posts flat like ice candy sticks gave them a slighter impression. Then we needed material for a lampshade to suit the extremely light post, so we developed an original material by dyeing traditional Japanese paper made in an unusual three-dimensional process.

When lit, the lamp’s soft light makes the paper fibres stand out, and each colour brings a subtly different character. A design that captures the delight and surprise of ice candies.
