About the Item

Designed byJapanese craftsman Shosaku Kondo for Yamagiwa, the “Take no Akari” pendant light embodies the fusion of traditional bamboo weaving and modernist design principles. Its cylindrical shade is meticulously hand-woven from natural bamboo strips over a white diffuser, creating a warm, dappled glow that enhances both contemporary and classic interiors. This piece reflects Kondo’s mastery in transforming an ancient material into a refined architectural element, echoing the minimalism and sculptural sensibility touch. The rhythmic bamboo pattern not only offers visual interest but also filters light in a way that adds depth and atmosphere to a space. Ideal for dining areas, living rooms, creative studios, or boutique commercial interiors, this lamp remains as relevant today as when it was first conceived — a timeless statement of Japanese craftsmanship and design innovation. Whether hung alone or in a series, it creates a focal point that is both functional and poetic.
