"The Seki-Han lamp, first released in 1963, is a rare linear floor lamp that represents a quiet revolution in material use, form, and light diffusion."
"The name of the lamp comes from a symbol of good fortune: in Japan, 'seki han' (red rice) is a traditional dish often prepared for special occasions."
"The re-edition replaces the original Douglas fir with sustainably sourced ash and FLOS's proprietary LED technology, emitting a warmer, more nuanced light."
"The reissue of the Seki-Han lamp remains true to its original form while evolving into a horizontal pendant, showcasing the blend of tradition and modernity."
Tobia Scarpa, alongside his wife Afra Bianchin, designed influential furnishings that pushed aesthetic and technical boundaries. The Seki-Han lamp, first released in 1963, is a notable example, recently reissued with modern updates while retaining its original form. The lamp's design is inspired by Japanese red rice, symbolizing good fortune. The reissue features sustainably sourced materials and advanced LED technology, enhancing its light quality and aligning with contemporary standards. This lamp will be introduced to the U.S. market by Lumens, a luxury online design retailer.
