Entry Description

Origami Light is a lighting fixture made by folding metal sheets of copper and brass by hand, without welding or screwing, just like origami. You can experience the beauty of the metal's patina as it changes over time in your daily life. Each piece evolves uniquely in its environment, making it one-of-a-kind. This unique transformation reflects your personal touch, creating a truly unique product.
This product, crafted with a composition of beautiful straight lines, reflects the color of the metal, enhancing the space and creating a more beautiful and enriched living environment.
Sustainability Approach

This product does not produce industrial waste during the manufacturing process since no welding is involved. Copper and brass are recyclable. The main highlight is that this product is designed to be enjoyed as it ages, aligning with the Japanese spirit of cherishing and using items for a long time.
