The story behind…

"During my first trip to Kyoto, I had the privilege of being initiated into the art of the samurai, both through the practice of the Katana and Zen. The bamboo mat, rolled and soaked in water, is used to replicate the consistency of a human arm or leg. The clean and immediate cut is made possible by the combination of the blade's sharpness, speed, and, most importantly, a perfectly mastered angle of attack.

This beveled cylindrical shape has etched itself into my memory and came back to me during my first sketches of lighting fixtures."
