Tomos Lampshade

This furniture is designed Jin Kuramoto (1976-). With an experimental approach to design, and a great respect for the unique inherent properties of materials, Jin Kuramoto tries to tell a story through each of his designs ranging from automobiles, eyewear and furniture.

Jin Kuramoto has received international recognition and numerous awards - including the Red Dot Award, the Good Design Award and the iF Product Design Award. Read more about Jin Kuramoto here.

This furniture is handcrafted in rattan, which is one of the most sustainable materials available for furniture manufacturing. Rattan is often confused with bamboo, but unlike hollow bamboo, rattan is a solid material.  This makes rattan furniture very durable, and able to last for generations.

When steamed for 10-15 minutes, rattan can be formed by hand using old traditional manufacturing techniques and a few simple tools. Rattan comes in 600 different variants and at Sika-Design we only use the two best qualities called Tohiti and Manau. Read more about rattan here.

MAINTENANCE Rattan requires no maintenance but can be wiped with a lightly dampened cloth if needed.
