Momigami Ivory - Oval Pendant
In Japanese, the term "momigami" translates to "kneaded paper," a technique that transforms ordinary paper into a resilient and much stronger material through the application of Devil's tongue root and hand kneading. This wrinkled, crumpled texture created by the momigami technique adds a unique tactibility, almost resembling leather. In Japan and Korea, paper is viewed very differently than it is seen in the west - not as a disposable and fragile material but as a highly useful one, often used for clothing called kamiko, a slowly fading art form.
The paper used for this technique is handmade Japanese Kozo, from sustainably harvested mulberry bark, which does not require killing the plant to harvest. This quality allows the light to perfectly diffuse through , surrounding the structure in a soft glow. The frame, is made of blackened steel which is hand bent and welded.
This shade would look great both hung in a group or alone. This is the shade only, bulb holder and cord not included. To be used with LED bulbs only.
50cm wide and 40cm deep, any size can be made to order and a range of natural dyes can be used, please contact with any questions, or for a quote.
