Fascickle Lamp

fascickle Lamp is an innovative lighting fixture that masterfully combines Scottish tartan patterns with Japanese design sensibilities, creating a unique interplay between light and shadow. This sophisticated lamp, designed by Fumiya Ino, represents a significant advancement in decorative lighting design through its innovative interpretation of traditional patterns in three-dimensional form. The design features a meticulously crafted shade made from three pieces of heavy paper, laser-cut into six pieces with three distinct patterns, creating an intricate geometric composition that casts elaborate shadow patterns when illuminated. The lamp's construction comprises an acrylic leg structure supporting a paper shade measuring 200mm in width, depth, and 210mm in height. Its distinctive design philosophy merges Western geometric patterns with Eastern concepts of shadow play, resulting in a harmonious blend of cultural aesthetics. The lamp's versatility allows it to function effectively as a floor lamp, ceiling fixture, or wall-mounted lighting element, making it suitable for various intimate settings including ceremonial spaces, living areas, and bedrooms. The design's exceptional merit has been recognized with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to combining traditional patterns with contemporary lighting solutions. The lamp's construction methodology, while currently handcrafted, has been conceived with potential mass production capabilities through resin molding techniques, demonstrating thoughtful consideration for scalability while maintaining its artistic integrity.
