Menu - Hashira Series

The Hashira collection of lights is a modern, Nordic take on the traditional Japanese rice paper lantern, designed by Norm Architects for Menu. Taking its name from the Japanese word for column or pillar, the textile lamps fill a space with cosy, ambient light and, true to the nature of the Washi paper lantern that inspired the collection’s creation, the slender structure is visible through the shade, lending the glowing column a graphic expression. This perfectly poised and balanced light works well in both classic and contemporary design schemes, both in residential and in commercial spaces.
