The Tomoe collection features five limited-edition lanterns, each a fusion of Nordic design and Asian tradition, inspired by Japanese "Toro" lanterns. These pieces reflect a blend of experiences and influences from my time in Japan, combining contemporary aesthetics with traditional elements.
Crafted through combination of technology and artisanal skill, each lantern is formed using 3D-printed molds for precision, followed by hand-finishing to enhance the uniqueness of each piece. The result is a series of sculptural lanterns that are not only functional but also serve as compelling art pieces, embodying a meeting of art, culture, and technology.
