It draws inspiration specifically from Japanese architecture. Honoring traditional Shoji themes, which is a space that has a window, room divider, and doors on the same paper screen. The Tri Light has a honeycomb-like design that is inspired by a shoji. Tokio notes that it is “Inspired by the Japanese shoji concept, Tri Light is the combination of old traditions and modern technology – we set out to design something that would be modern, classical, and timeless at the same time." The light is mad with dimmable capabilities, altering between 2700K to 4000K lighting, and can be divided into multiple zones.
