hiroomi tahara: cap lamp collection


'cap' lamp by hiroomi tahara


as incandescent light bulbs will be discontinued in europe next year, milan-based designer hiroomi tahara
proposes a new 'cap' lamp collection for fluorescent lights as the next mainstream. 
the special feature is the shade:  this organic form is made with materials such as felt, 3D mesh, and sweat textile,
and is fixed only with velcro, creating a natural curve.

proposing a solution for forms without molding, the 'cap' lamp collection requires little initial investment
and fulfills the need for rapid, low-cost production.
