カミラ

Inspired by the oriental style, our project responds to a company brief that requires particular attention to the production technique of pressed glass, care of decorative patterns and focus on modularity in the use and customization of glass components. 

Present from ancient times in their stone versions, they were decorative elements in votive places, and then spread to Zen gardens and noble homes.
As a result of the need to illuminate the urban environment, lanterns spread in their best known form: bamboo structure and rice paper covering. Lanterns have been and still are the symbol for excellence of the oriental style, an evergreen imprinted in the conception of the Japanese world.

The goal was to transport in our product the typical Japanese vision of a strong contrast between the extreme modernization of large Japanese cities and the ancient decorative style still very present and marked, especially in rural areas.
Ka - Mi - Ra
The name of the product, linked to the Shinto tradition, is related to the name of the Great Goddess of Sun and Light,
 Amaterasu-ō-mi-kami. 
From an handcrafted conception of the lantern to an industrial conception. We have carried out a westernization of the product, focusing on the lightness of the structure and on more refined materials, maintaining a strong decorative link with tradition.
Just as lanterns release their charm through the glow of the flame, Ka-Mi-Ra spreads reflections and caustics in the surrounding environment, recreating a unique atmosphere.
The shapes available are inspired by the profiles of lanterns, from stone ones to rice paper ones, decorated with traditional patterns.
The glass sheets are held in place by a pin that passes through the base, ensuring stability in any situation of use. It is also possible to replace the glass base by unscrewing the metal base.
The glass components are made by molded (pressed) glass, the metal structure is made of aluminum.
The bulb socket is an E14, suitable to accommodate LED filament bulbs for a more decorative effect.
Ka-Mi-Ra is a lamp with strong ties to the oriental world, at the same time able to adapt to western living contexts. 
Thank you!
