Japanese lighting designer Toshiyuki Tani brings traditional Japanese craftsmanship into contemporary lighting. Drawing on techniques such as Suruga bamboo weaving and magewappa, the art of bending wood, Tani transforms time-honoured crafts into sculptural light fixtures. Guided by the concept of yūkō, or playful light, his designs explore the interplay of light and shadow, using the natural qualities of bamboo and wood to create a different atmosphere in everyday spaces.
