The new Bonbori table lamp collection from Brokis
The Czech brand Brokis stands for high-quality lighting technology that combines selected design, perfect quality and the extraordinary skill of Bohemian glass masters. The original Brokis collection, created by recognised Czech and international designers, enjoys international recognition and has been awarded numerous prizes at national and international design competitions. The company combines traditional hand-blown glass with other selected materials such as wood and hand-finished metal in bold lighting compositions that push the boundaries of contemporary design. The Brokis lighting portfolio includes modern functional lighting, decorative objects and unique lighting solutions for architects and interior designers. Brokis has room for experimentation and the development of innovative materials, techniques and technologies thanks to its extensive in-house production capacity, which is based on more than two hundred years of tradition. In addition, a customised lighting solution can be offered.
The Brokis Bonbori collection, created by the world-famous Japanese designer Fumie Shibata, is available for both indoor and outdoor use. The luminaire is inspired by the traditional paper lanterns that line the paths to shrines and temples during the annual rice harvest festivals in Japan. In Japanese, the word ‘bonbori’ refers not only to this traditional form of lighting, but also to the soft light that comes from a snow-covered cave.
The new luminaire consists of a simple stainless steel base with an environmentally friendly powder coating. The easily removable LED light source casts a soft light through a diffuser and laser-cut openings in the stainless steel. The resemblance to the traditional Brokis Bonbori lamp is achieved through an elegant hand-blown glass shade, an exceptional piece made from multiple layers of carefully moulded glass.
The shade is available in opal and opal glass, while the metal base is available in matt black, metallic copper matt or metallic grey matt.
The soft light of Bonbori pays homage to a traditional Japanese lantern. The skilfully crafted, hand-blown glass and soft luminescence create a magical and festive ambience that can be enjoyed alone or with family and friends. The new interior light is equipped with special plugs developed by Brokis.
