Official Movie
N-TL01 | Table Lamp
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-lit corners, 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.

Designer
Norm Architects | Norm Architects
Founded in 2008, Norm Architects is a multidisciplinary design studio active in industrial design, residential architecture, commercial interiors, photography, art direction, etc. The essence of Norm Architects' work lies in the balance between abundance and constraint, order and complexity, just like human happiness.
What their projects, whether architecture or interior design, have in common is simplicity that contains bigger ideas. Guided by what the body and mind desire rather than trends and techniques, and by pursuing not only aesthetic beauty but also comfort, their architecture becomes more thoughtful, minimalism takes on a soft feel, and flat elements are given texture.
Their work is a testament to their refined design, meticulous attention to detail and a strong sense of durability. Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, their studio is based on a respect for its context, drawing on timeless beauty, natural materials and the understated sophistication of Scandinavian design.
By exploring what elicits human emotion, their projects strip spaces, objects, ideas and images down to their simplest form - finding that perfect balance where there is nothing to add and nothing to take away is Norm Architects' specialty.

Manufacturing Collaborator
Kojima Shoten
Kojima Shoten was founded during the Edo period between 1789 and 1801. Since then, they have continued to produce high-quality lanterns as specialists in Kyoto-jibari style lanterns.
All processes, from splitting the bamboo to pasting the paper, are completed by hand, one by one, by specialized craftsmen. The core of Kojima Shoten today is a young craftsman who learned the techniques from his father, and his friend. While inheriting the traditional techniques and continuing to make lanterns for Kyoto's leading cultural facilities and stores, they also collaborate with famous brands from around the world and create new lanterns made from sustainable materials that suit modern lifestyles.
Today, we continue to create beautiful, durable and innovative lanterns.
