Shoichi Uchiyama - Stylish Japanese Pendant Light Designs

Style Estate — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:46:59 PST

Uchiyama’s lighting fixtures, which are created through an accurate calculation of light, are the proof of his design philosophy.

Shoichi Uchiyama was born and bred in Tokyo. Since the foundation of Shoichi Uchiyama Design Office in 1977, he has been committed to creation of lighting fixtures with glare-free indirect light that make objects beautiful, and allow people to feel the texture and depth of objects. He seeks quality lighting through the design of lighting fixtures , and devotes himself to realize the beautiful effect of indirect light in space.

The Enigma 425 emits glarefree light of high quality. the illumination of the four shades gives a floating and sculptural character.

As a basic concept, Uchiyama tries to create the ideal light distribution and the elimination of uncomfortable glare by controlling of light, through thorough understanding of light source characteristics. He believes that the verification process for lighting effect in particular is essential to pursue high-quality lighting. By preparing for the fixture’s full scale mock-ups with actual light source, he examines the intensity and color of light, the shadows casting on the objects, as well as the fixture’s aesthetic appearance. Such strict design process leads to the creation of simple and functional form, and it finally gives his products a minimalistic beauty of Japanese tradition.

He has won the iF Award in Germany and the Good Design Award in Japan for designs created by his unique talent.

Schoichi Uchiyama’s Engima pendant light series was designed for Louis Poulsen and is available through Switch Modern.

SNOOPY Armchair and Sofa by Iskos-Berlin

Style Estate — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:13:05 PST

”We wanted to design a compact but comfortable “family” of sofas that harked back to classic soft furniture styles – especially to the post WW2 period”.

SNOOPY’s sculptural language is simple and clear. There are just two elements – a horizontal “pillow” for a seat and a vertical “duvet” at the back that wraps around the seat, embracing it from the sides. Marked piping is used to accentuate its shape in a natural way, giving it an easily recognizable design “signature”. SNOOPY doesn’t demand much space and fits easily into smaller rooms. SNOOPY is constructed and produced following the finest traditions of craftsmanship for this type of furniture.

SNOOPY was designed by Iskos-Berlin for Versus

SNOOPY series consists of a pouf, a chair, a 2-seater, a 2,5-seater, and a 3-seater.

'21' - Ultra Modern Hanging Pendants by Bocci

Style Estate — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:21:32 PST

The 21 series is made with a random amount of raw porcelain, which is flattened and rolled into a pancake shape.

This is then wrapped around a frosted borosilicate glass inverted trumpet diffuser. The thin porcelain skin is allowed to flop over the borosilicate core to create whatever form is most natural to it. This makes a unique form, of varying size, in every iteration of the fabrication process.

21 pendants are designed to be arranged in groupings, such that the pieces touch each other to form clumps. The relatively simple shapes of the individual pendants, when placed in a group, make a complex sculptural form. See our other posts covering Bocci’s modern lighting designs.

Each diffuser houses a low voltage (12V, 20Watt xenon) lamp. A strong contrast is established

between the organically distributed soft light passing through the translucent white porcelain skin and the sharp, crisp light passing through the borosilicate glass diffuser.
