Fat Wood Plate Lamp

We created a lamp using fat wood, which is rich in resin.

The fat wood is a precious material that can be extracted from pines, which is rich in resin that are over hundreds of years old. The resin, which has accumulated over many years, changes a red color when it catches light, unlike the resin of other trees.

When the fat wood catches the light, Fat Wood shines a bewitching red.

We created a Lamp using fat wood plates, applying traditional Japanese joinery techniques that do not use nails or glue.

This technology creates beautiful structures with three-dimensional interlocking joints.

The structure is enveloped in light and begins to shine beautifully in various spaces.

The resin of pine, which has long been disliked because it is high in resin and difficult to use and maintain, has been transformed into a beautiful material through various processing techniques and changed it to an advanced design.

It is used in Japanese kumiko, where two boards are cut apart and fitted together to create a strong structure.

Using these Japanese kumiko techniques, we have designed a lamp using thick pine plates.

Beautiful structures are created by stacking thick pine plates in a three-dimensional interlocking joints.

As the thick pine plates are layered, the size and pattern change, and the function also changes.

we propose a design with expandability that allows functions and sizes to change depending on how it is combined.

1. Pendant lamp

2. Table lamp

3. Floor lamp.

Light leaks through the gaps created by the protruding and uneven pine plates, illuminating the structure.

Beautiful light & shadow patterns are created on the structure, and Fat Wood Plate Lamp glows a bewitching red in the light.

However, the fat wood is high in resin, and when the resin rises to the surface it becomes dirty with dust, so a special coating is used to prevent the resin from rising to the surface while preserving the beauty and grain of the wood, and to ensure functionality.

The fat wood catches the light and glows a bewitching red, like wooden stained glass.
