Description
TekiŌ is a modular lighting system designed by Anthony Dickens. Deriving its name from the Japanese word for ‘adaptation’, the design was inspired by Dickens’ travel to the Far East in 2010. The prototype takes the idea of the traditional Japanese paper ‘Cochin’ lantern into a new, design-led dimension.

    TekiŌ is a modular lighting systemdesigned by Anthony Dickens. Derivingits name from the Japanese word for ‘adaptation’, the design was inspired byDickens’ travel to the Far East in 2010. The prototype takes the idea of thetraditional Japanese paper ‘Cochin’ lantern into a new, design-led dimension.

The paper sections are supported by the frame, but can easily beseparated to access the choice of LED or halogen bulbs.

You can trace the outline of a table, seating area, bar, room, or simply have a straight or wiggly line of light passing between two walls. It is more than just a light, it becomes a tool to divide space and highlight certain areas or create an unbroken line of light employed to guide people through an unfamiliar space. The possibilities are endless...
