鋳物・HOTEL CLASKA 真鍮ランプ Imono・Hoteru Curasuka Shinchu-ranpu Metalwork, Hotel Claska brass lamp

Jp En


This brass lamp is used in the lobby of the Hotel Claska in Meguro, Tokyo. Its design makes good use of light reflected from the brass.
This same form is also used to produce other pendent lighting and wall-mounted lighting fixtures at the hotel.
For the craftsmen, the idea of shipping  their products without final coloring was like selling their products naked. There was a risk that small pinholes made by air or dust within the metal would  show. But the casting techniques they used  overcame such a risk.
It is a great challenge for craftsmen to try something that they would never have thought possible or to rethink their established works. But through projects like this, craftsmen could create something new that provided a stimulus to old designs.
