Designer Hisao Hayashi has used the wood lattice construction of traditional shoji door panels as a point of departure for his lighting designs. He manipulates the lattice to create a compelling interplay of light and shadow. Hayashi’s studio is located in an area of northern Japan long noted for its woodworking heritage.
