Chasen - Patricia Urquiola pour Flos

... inspirée du fouet en bambou traditionnel japonais utilisé pendant la cérémonie du thé...

'the starting point of 'chasen', the illuminating device designed for flos, was a small object: a whisk to stir tea that comes from the japanese tradition. it is made through a multiphase handmade technique of cutting and folding bamboo. a symbol of an action that transforms itself into another function, passing through formal analogies. the material flexibility gives the possibility of modulating the shape and the diffusion of light' P.U.
