Mayuhana Mie Pendant

The spun thread design is reminiscent of a cocoon and gives off a soft light that is enhanced by the double and triple shelters of this delicate, fiberglass creation. This is designed by world-renowned Japanese architect, Toyo Ito. The soft light that evokes traditional Japanese paper lanterns known as Bonbori from the dual or triple shades brings airy elegance.

Similar to how a thread is spun off a cocoon, Mayuhana is made by reeling string around a mold. Each one is handmade by Japanese craftsmanship and skill, and none of their shades are the exact same.
