The N-TL01 table lamp, designed by Norm Architects, is born out of a collaboration between several renowned Japanese manufacturers. To complement the minimalistic base in a bronzed stainless finish with soft leather wrapping, Ambientec has drawn on the deep knowledge and extensive expertise of Kojima Shoten, a century-old Kyoto-based lantern maker, and Karimoku Case to create an iconic washi paper lampshade with a delicate wooden base and a soft, welcoming expression.

Crafted as a portable lamp suitable for café tables, intimate dinner settings, or dimly-litcorners, its omnidirectional light is filtered through the tactile washi paper shade, casting a serene and inviting light upon its surroundings. Designed to coexist harmoniously with natural light during the day, the N-TL01 acts as a beautiful object in its own right, enhancing the aesthetic and emotional quality of the environment.

Building on the original Ambientec LED light source, a new version has been developed to ensure the lamp casts a homogenous glow while evenly illuminating the lampshade without revealing the internal components. A dim-to-warm feature allows the lamp to adapt to the rhythm of the day, harmonizing with daylight and creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere at night, enhancing the interplay between the light source and the illuminated objects in darkness.

Philosophical Affinity:

Ambientec and Karimoku Case share a commitment to creating designs that are not only functional but also enrich the user's experience and environment. This shared philosophy emphasizes striving for the natural and timeless, using materials that possess an inherent richness and gain beauty with time and age.
