Rare Uchiwa ‘Yotsuba’ chandelier in very good condition.
Designed by Ingo Maurer in the 1970s
Manufactured by M Design, Germany
The ‘Yotsuba' chandelier is only produced for one year which makes this piece incredibly rare.
It is handmade from bamboo and Japanese rice paper and hangs from three ropes which can be adjusted to alter the drop of the lamp.
The chandelier consists of 4 fans which are interlocked and connected to each other by a split pin, when the lamp is lit the fans seem translucent which gives a beautiful effect.
This specific pendant can also be used as a flush mount, the original metal parts for attaching it directly to the ceiling are included.
Ingo Maurer’s interest in paper for lampshades was linked with his interest in Japan. From 1973-1975 he produced various lamps from traditional Japanese fans.
