The lamp, exhibited in the Signature section at the Paris Maison&Objet Fair in January 2024, stands out with its unique design and dedication to genuine materials.

Su’me, named after its honeycomb texture, highlights the raw elegance of organic design and emphasizes the preservation of unique craftsmanship and solidarity behind traditional skills.

Despite the challenges posed by the variability in the handcrafted blown glass vessels, the inherent uniqueness and quality of craftsmanship allow the product to be completed with a personal and special touch, distinguishing it with elegance and allure.
