Lemnos will unveil its new product, the TORNO PENDANT, at its exhibition booth. Named Torno—the Latin word for “to turn”—this pendant lamp was designed with the concept of a solid block of metal floating in space.
By utilizing spinning and welding techniques—where a roller is pressed against a rotating metal sheet to shape it—the bottom of the shade is formed into a smooth curve rather than a raw, cut edge, closing off the area around the central light source. This unique hollow construction, made from thin stainless steel, successfully conveys the powerful impression of a solid, heavy mass.
 
Stand : West Hall 1 H018 MOVEMENT
 
 
 

 
Shogado will unveil its new product, the SOME TABLE LAMP, at its exhibition booth. Similar to the pendant lamp showcased at the recent Kyoto Gift Show, this new piece features a Yuzen Washi paper shade redesigned in proportions perfect for tabletop use, beautifully supported by a slender steel frame.

We are pleased to inform that our new furniture design collection ‘LITTLE LIVING’ for Japanese retailer LIVING HOUSE is available in their shop.

LITTLE LIVING is a thoughtfully designed furniture series for children from age one, created to grow with them through life’s stages. While most children’s furniture is discarded as kids outgrow it, LITTLE LIVING offers lasting functionality and sustainability. Crafted primarily from warm, durable European beech, each piece is designed to nurture creativity and feel timeless in any home. Coral pink, a joyful accent, is used to enhance emotional connection while minimising material waste, covering less usable parts of the wood and turning imperfections into features. Each piece nurtures creativity while remaining timeless and harmonious in the home. By combining adaptability, sustainability, and emotional design, LITTLE LIVING enriches everyday family life and empowers young lives from the very beginning.
