Cho floor light

A poetic floor lamp with a design made possible by cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, Cho Light, by young Swiss designer Dimitri Bähler, combines traditional Japanese Washi paper with a breathtakingly thin carbon-fibre rod.///Description
Swiss designer Dimitri Bähler joins the Established & Sons stable with Cho Light, a pair of tall, poetic floor lamps that are an exercise in literal and visual lightness only attainable using cutting-edge manufacturing techniques.

A globe of crumpled, off-white, traditional Japanese Washi paper creates a diffused glow from an LED bulb, which is adjustable via a dimmer. This shade balances on a six-millimetre diameter carbon-fibre rod, which extends up from a weighted base to create the design’s almost impossibly light appearance. The tall, strong carbon-fibre rod produces a dancer-like movement when the light is touched, injecting a playfulness into the deceptive simplicity of Cho Light.
