Cho Table Lamp Matcha
Designed by Ernst & Bartholin Jensen
Named for the Japanese word for butterfly, Cho's shade is a single sheet of translucent PVC, curving into soft wings that shift with your point of view, at once grounded and weightless.
Beneath it, a slim powder-coated steel frame is shaped like a bridge, holding the shade in place and connecting form and function, structure and softness.
In this Matcha edition the base takes a soft, muted green from it, the shade glowing warm white above. Made in Denmark.
Choose options
Cho's shade is a single sheet of translucent PVC, curved into soft wings that diffuse a warm, even light - the material chosen to hold a fold paper never could. Beneath it, a slim powder-coated steel frame is shaped like a bridge, holding the shade in place and grounding the piece in a quiet balance of structure and softness.
Nature sets the palette: the Matcha edition finishes the base in a soft, muted green - one of natural tones of nature.
Also available in Terracotta and Black.

Cho arrives flat packed, with the frame and shade separately packed in a cardboard box. Apply the shade with light pressure and rest it onto the steel frame. No installation needed.
Dust can be removed from both the inside and outside of the shade using a soft dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment. For more thorough cleaning over time, gently wipe using a soft cloth lightly wrung in lukewarm water.
Inspired by matcha - a green of quiet grounding and renewal.
The result of a paper study
Cho is the result of a study on shapes that emerge when pressure is applied to an oval sheet of paper. A translucent wing, wedged into a slim black steel frame, that shifts with the point of view.
Cho means butterfly in Japanese, which is how the shape spoke to the designers. Architecture meets lightness.

Danish architects Anne-Mette Bartholin Jensen and Morten Ernst build upon the classic Danish design tradition.
"Light and form are inseparable - they shape how they design, how objects move in space, and how we experience them." Anne-Mette Bartholin Jensen
Beauty as something calm and subtle, found in contrast, texture and moments that invite stillness - approaching design as a sensory experience rather than a fixed object.
