Lacquer is a family of pendant lights designed by Keiji Takeuchi. The shape, colour and finish of the pendants are inspired by traditional Japanese lacquerware bowls.
The light source is an integrated LED with a concave diffuser that gives an even, high-quality light. There are 3 sizes and 3 colours available – a pale grey, a deep black and the red of the original inspiration.
