Hokore lamp

The exclusive Japanese Hokore pendant lamp is an impressive construction of almost 1000 pieces of bamboo, handmade for the Danish brand, Motarasu, by the Japanese artist, Tani Toshiyuki, together with a number of bamboo masters. Hokore means proud in Japanese, and the inspiration for the lamp comes from the strength of a flower bud.

By using the traditional Japanese construction technique Takeensuji – a technique traditionally used to make insect cages and paper lanterns – the lamp builds on tradition while adding a modern look and functionality.

Motarasu was founded in 2019 by Mikkel Zebitz. Zebitz is inspired by Japanese design and aesthetics. But where classic Danish designers as well as contemporary ones have often simply been inspired by Japan, Zebitz wanted to change this and collaborate directly with Japanese designers: "Motarasu" means "to change" in Japanese.

Art and nature are key elements in design from Motarasu, which works from its showroom on Frederiksgade in Copenhagen.

The pendant will eventually take on the classic, soft amber color. When the lamp is used in a room with high ventilation or a lot of sunlight, the amber color will appear faster.

Please note that the color of the lamp may differ slightly from the colors in the pictures here, and we cannot guarantee a perfect color match. The bamboo used may also vary slightly in appearance from lamp to lamp.
