Designed by Clara del Portillo and Alex Selma of Yonoh, the Chou was inspired by del Portillo and Selma’s trips to Japan. The lamp’s design draws upon the traditional Japanese chouchin paper lantern—instead of paper, the Chou explores the folding and overlapping of wood veneer. A classic lamp reimagined for modern-day living, Chou is available in several versions: short and tall suspension, and short and tall table. There is also a new, portable Mini Chou.
