Cho Table Lamp Terracotta
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.
Terracotta draws inspiration from the reds found in Japan - in its architecture and materials - reinterpreted as a warm, earthy reddish-brown: the colour of fired earth and ware, grounding the piece beneath its glowing white shade. Made in Denmark.
Choose options
The shade is formed by pressing a flat sheet of translucent PVC into a curved, wing-like silhouette. Its form changes depending on the angle from which it is seen, giving the lamp a sculptural presence that invites interpretation.
With its semi-matte translucent shade, Cho diffuses light evenly and calmly into the room. The terracotta powder-coated steel base grounds the composition, its slim legs contrasting with the softness of the shade above.

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.
Terracotta recalls sun-baked clay, autumn, maple trees and timeless craftsmanship. A natural complement to wood, stone and soft fabrics.
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. Lightness meeting solidity.
