Sushi has inspired quite a lot of designs, but it often happens to be in a very direct and obvious manner; the Nendo Maki light fixture is much more subtle. If it wasn't dubbed 'Maki,' which means 'to roll' in Japanese, the lamp could easily have had many people thinking it was a simple, yet sculptural pendant lamp.
Designed for Foscarini, the Nendo Maki light fixture is made by rolling up two steel sheets from the same form, allowing soft light to spill from the slits on its side even though it mainly provides direct, precise light right underneath it. Perfect for the dining room, the Nendo Maki pendant lamp is a clean design that would complement just about any home and existing decor. It is available in white and grey.
