This lamp is the newest release as part of MENU Design's 'Hashira' collection, which launched in the middle of last year. The Hashira Wall Lamp takes inspiration from [traditional Japanese lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akari-lamp). With a [translucent shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito) made from a mix of PS plastic and linen, the lamp elegantly diffuses light to create a soft, warm feel for any room. The mount of the lamp is made from a mix of steel and plastic that result in it being reliable and sturdy, even when knocked lightly. Currently, the Hashira Wall Lamp is available in two colorways: raw and white. The raw color offers a warm, yellow tint, while the white colorway delivers a more clear, white light. The Hashira Wall Lamp is an excellent combination of luxury design and ambient lighting as it delivers in both aesthetic and performance.
