Kinoko, meaning mushroom is a collection of lamps inspired by the playful characters of fungi. The series draws on the aesthetic of simplicity; by creating an everyday object that draws on design values existing in the natural world.

Kinoko features a marble shade with a brass diffuser that dissipates the light, allowing a warming yet gentle glow through the material above and below, reinforcing its purpose of creating an inviting atmosphere.
