Their simplicity and elegance were the result of a difficult multi-stage technology that combines tradition and innovation. Nendo invented a unique technique of molding without seams and gluing for the production of table lamps and chandeliers, similar to a paper bag with a slightly jammed crown and a completely smooth base. Cover is not created by gluing of several sheets of washi paper as it always has been done before. It is formed from a liquid substance, which is added with Amorfofallyus plant starch for greater strength and texture.
Instead of gluing of washi sheets for the desired shape, as it was implied in the traditional technology with this materials, for our lamps Taniguchi Aoya Washi we started to use a new object modeling technique, from the very beginning by building its structure in three dimensions,” Oki Sato, the founder of the Nendo studio said.
