Suki chandelier
“SUKI” is a lighting collection that Baku Sakashita has been creating since
early in his career, which combines semi-translucent Japanese paper and thin stainless-steel wire.
Suki in Japanese can mean “transparency,” “making paper by hand,” “empty space,” or “refined taste.” The first three respectively represent the transparency of the paper, handcrafting paper, and space or pause (ma).
Lighting using Japanese paper generally has its light source fully covered by paper, but with SUKI, light from the light source penetrates the paper and projects geometric shadows on the floor and walls as the structure is
broken down to give some space (ma). Technically, each part is made by hand, and he attempted to bring traditional skills including the application of the skill of using water when stretching paper over the frame of Japanese traditional partition (shoji) to sublimation.
