Sengetsu Lampy by Takahide Hashimoto Design

The Osaka and Kobe based Japanese designer Takahide Hashimoto created this lamp that emits its light from a long and very thin shape. The inspiration for this shape is the Japanese word sengetsu, which describes the appearence of a very thin moon. This characteristic is further emphasized by the lampshade that is shaped like a Japanese sword and made of the same Damascus steel. The light does shine from the shade like the sharp distinct cut of a sword.

“I sought ways of communication between inside and outside that transcended the conventional. As a result, unexpected scenes without logical connection present themselves with human movement or changes in light” K. Shinohara.
