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.
