Sageの生きた灯りは、食卓を自由自在に変化させる。
一人静かに食事をとりたいとき、または家族や友人たちと賑やかに食を囲むとき、二枚の葉っぱの角度を自在に変えれば、そのときの気分にあった光の大きさや表情をしなやかに変えることができるSage。キャンドルのようなやさしい光から、食事を鮮やかに魅せる４段階の灯りを楽しめます。
葉脈をイメージした、232個のLED
葉っぱのシェードの裏側には、小さなスクエアが集まった光源がむき出しになっています。それは葉っぱの裏側に走る繊細で美しい葉脈のように、表面とはまったく異なる顔をもつ”生命体の多面性”の魅力をヒントにしました。
場の雰囲気や気分に合わせて、光の表情も変化
Sageを複数並べると、テーブルが花壇になったような不思議な風景が生まれます。また葉っぱを壁に向けて照らし葉っぱの角度を変化させると、光の表情が増えて空間に新たな印象を描き出します。
Sageは精密なテクノロジーを内側に抱え込みながら、みずみずしい姿で佇む愛すべきアートであり、日々の時間をともにする相棒のような存在。
照明もひとつの生き物として、人間と共生し暮らしを楽しめたら。そんな問いかけと想いが、Sageには込められています。

A living, breathing light that adds magic to a meal
The Sage’s two leaflets can be rotated to alter the angle of the light, allowing you to set the right mood for the dining room table, whether you are eating alone or with friends and family. The brightness can be adjusted to four levels, each of which enhances the colors and textures of the food in different ways.
232 LEDs with the image of leaf veins
The underside of each leaflet is covered in tiny square lights—a design inspired by the beautifully complex network of veins that run across the back of every leaf. As with natural life, the Sage’s surface masks a far more intricate system at work.
The expression of the light changes according to the atmosphere and mood of the place.
Multiple Sage lamps can be lined along a tabletop to transform it into an enchanting flowerbed. Position the lamps against a wall, their leaflets facing away from you, and you can create an even more eloquent ambience inside the room.
Inside the Sage is a meticulously designed technological system—but the lamp itself has the appearance of an organic work of art. It is a living being that shares the space you inhabit—a symbiotic partner whose mere presence can elevate the time you spend in the space.
