This little-known floor lamp is marked by a particularly intricate construction, made possible by the choice of timber and a manufacturing technique that borrows processes from naval architecture. The lamp’s name comes from a symbol of good fortune: in Japan, “seki han” (red rice) is a traditional dish often prepared for special occasions, such as the celebration of a birth.
The ability to orient the wooden deflectors makes it possible to control the degree of aperture and the intensity of the light flow. Even when almost completely closed, a sliver of light remains visible, creating a highly poetic effect.
- Light is emitted symmetrically and indirectly from both sides, with the materiality and warmth of the wood softening the luminous flow.
- The wood is cut with an advanced CNC milling machine in Northern Italy and subjected to a special heat treatment that dries the wood fibres, preventing warping over time.
- The natural characteristics of the material ensure that each piece has a unique character.
