Sekiun 50 Raw Pendant
Designed by Ryota Yokozeki
Sekiun Raw shows the paper as it comes from the maker. Long mulberry fibres run visibly through the sheet, catching the light in an uneven grain, so the surface reads as material rather than as a plane. Ryota Yokozeki's form arrived from the hand rather than a drawing - two oval shades, one set across the other, 50 cm at the widest and 34 cm high.
Made in Denmark from Japanese washi paper.

Light passes through the washi unevenly, catching the fibre grain and folding warm shadows across the shade - the quality of sunlight filtered through clouds, brought into the room.
The Japanese washi paper is left with more of its natural surface: softer to the touch, more openly textured, and warmer in tone than a smooth laminated shade.
Sekiun Raw works well hung alone above a dining table, as a sculptural presence in a living space, or grouped in clusters for a rhythmic installation in larger interiors.
As a natural material, each pendant varies slightly in appearance - more visibly so in the Raw finish, where the fibre pattern is part of the character. Colours shown on screen may vary slightly from the actual product.

Colors shown on screen may vary slightly from the actual product. Due to the natural fibres of the washi paper every shade is a result of the natural materials.

Cumulus, in raw paper
Room for the fibre
Ryota Yokozeki named the pendant after the cumulus cloud, the kind that builds slowly and fills the sky. Sekiun 50 is not the smaller lamp enlarged but drawn in its own proportions. Two rolled washi sheets, offset where they overlap, keep the same restlessness: the outline still shifts as you move around it.
At this size, Raw's paper has space to speak. Long mulberry fibres run across a broad, creamy Japanese sheet, and its open texture reads from across the room before it draws you closer. Lit, the fibres darken into fine lines against a wider field of glow, a soft cloud of light over a dining table or in a high-ceilinged room.
"Beauty is something that is all around us in our daily lives, we can only find it if we pay careful attention to it."
