Fumie Shibata designs the Bamboo Forest Glass Lighting collection for BROKIS. It brings a calm energy to indoor spaces with the gentle ambiance of bamboo trees with glass materials. The pendant lamps not only illuminate a space, but it encourage those around to pause and breathe.
It is a reminder to remember the peace that is found in the simplest parts of nature. The lamps are all carefully made with traditional glass-blowing techniques which are shaped into tall and slender cylinders. Each one is slightly different to one another as the glass thickens at different points to create the nodal rings reminiscent of the real bamboo. These also creates a slight shadow and some highlights to where it illuminates.
