YAMAGIWA returns to Milan Design Week after a two-year hiatus, presenting three exceptional lighting collections highlighting its deep-rooted commitment to craftsmanship and innovative design. With over a century of expertise, the Japanese lighting brand brings a fresh perspective to the global stage, joining forces with Noritake at the iconic Villa Borsani.
British designer Faye Toogood curates the exhibition space, carefully selecting YAMAGIWA’s lighting to enhance the atmosphere at Villa Borsani. Her thoughtful approach creates a refined setting that complements the designs and the villa’s historical ambiance.
A Glimpse into the future of lighting and tableware
YAMAGIWA’s participation in Noritake’s exhibition at Milan Design Week celebrates the convergence of fine lighting and porcelain artistry. Known for its over 120 years of excellence in creating refined tableware, Noritake is a key player in global design. YAMAGIWA’s lighting solutions complement Noritake’s collection, enhancing their shared dedication to precision and timeless design. The collaboration also honors the two brands’ relationship with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, emphasizing the connection between traditional and contemporary influences in design.
New lighting designs from YAMAGIWA
YAMAGIWA’s lighting designs are steeped in Japan’s rich tradition of craftsmanship. The brand’s artisans blend techniques such as woodworking, metalwork, glass artistry, and washi paper craftsmanship, practices refined over centuries. This legacy is embodied in each piece, where traditional methods meet modern design to create lighting that enhances any space.
YAMAGIWA’s showcase includes three standout collections:
- TALIESIN® Series: An iconic collection that has been reproduced by YAMAGIWA for over 30 years, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural philosophy. The TALIESIN® series beautifully integrates light into its design, a hallmark of Wright’s work, and reflects YAMAGIWA’s unparalleled Japanese craftsmanship.
- RAI Collection: A new release that reinterprets traditional Japanese lantern-making techniques with modern sensibilities. This collection produces a soft, warm glow that evokes calm and sophistication.
- JAKOBSSON LAMP Collection: Originally designed by Swedish designer Hans-Agne Jakobsson, this collection features pinewood shades that gently diffuse light, bringing a piece of Scandinavian warmth and organic beauty to YAMAGIWA’s Japanese craftsmanship.
