Description
Tekiò is Japanese for adaptation. It is a lamp that can be adapted into various forms, like modular building blocks, to fit interior spaces. It is a design adaptation of a traditional Japanese Chchin that dates as far back as 1085. The range starts with a single, vertically hanging module as a direct homage to a Chchin. This module can be connected to other modules to make the line longer or can be hung horizontally and extended across a table or room. Curved sections can be added to create bends, wall lights or self-contained circles, squares or rectangles.
