We created a lamp using fat wood. Fat wood is a precious material that can be extracted from pines, which is rich in resin that are over hundreds of years old. Fat wood, which has been thinly processed by using special techniques, glows a bewitching red in the light.

The resin of pine, which has long been disliked because it is high in resin and difficult to use and maintain, has been transformed into a beautiful material through various processing techniques and changed it to an advanced design. By transforming previously unused wood into beautiful materials and creating lighting fixtures for use in everyday life, we recycle the fat wood of our forest resource.

The pine trees used in this project are from Japan, but there are many resinous pines around the world. By utilizing these pines from around the world and transforming them into beautiful materials, we hope to promote the use of resinous pine trees worldwide.

The lampshades are made by woodworkers who use a special process to change them into a thin dome shape. This technique allows the lamp to capture the light and glow a bewitching red. When the lights are off, the grain of the fat wood appears, and when the lights are on, the grain of the fat wood and the resin appear at the same time, creating a unique and beautiful pattern. There is a natural beauty that cannot be imitated by artificial colors and shapes created by humans.

This lighting fixture is connected to the ceiling surface using a standard lighting rail. The screw ring on the lighting fixture body can be removed and the lampshade can be easily replaced with another lampshade, making it easy to maintain. The fat wood is high in resin, and when the resin rises to the surface it becomes dirty with dust, so a special coating is used to prevent the resin from rising to the surface while preserving the beauty and grain of the wood, and to ensure functionality.

The fat wood catches the light and glows a bewitching red, like wooden stained glass. In addition, as the resin ages, it permeates the entire grain of the wood, and the surface changes to a beautiful amber color, lighting up with a deeper red. The aging that occurs over time in fat wood allow you to enjoy the material for a long time. We believe that fat wood lamp, which makes use of the characteristics of woods will be an advanced design that will add elegance to a variety of spaces.
