Product Information
Description
Design studio Space Copenhagen is known for playing with intriguing juxtapositions in its designs, and this collection’s meditation on the archetypal lantern form is no exception. The pared-back take on a traditional Japanese paper lantern balances the ethereal and the functional, while challenging the conventions of the typology in its playful asymmetry.Beginning with concept of the archetypal maritime lantern, Space Copenhagen set out to simplify the typology to its cleanest expression, stripped of all distractions. Bringing the shade down as close to the base as possible encourages the viewer to focus on these two elements alone, creating a silhouette reminiscent of a ship with a billowing sail.

Ø 12 x H 45 cmMaterial & Finishes
The teardrop-shaped gray marble base of the lanterninspired series acts as an anchor, embodying stillness and weight. A rotating white linen or natural canvas shade with the same shape appears weightless, vibrant and flighty in contrast – aligning perfectly over the base only once in every 360º rotation and embodying asymmetry for the other 359º.Dark antique brass forms an off-center arm that acts as a ‘mast’ – and, together with the echoing forms of the base and shade, brings the composition together into a cohesive whole.
Within the shade, dimmable LEDs all the way around the arm create a softly diffused light without casting internal shadows.

Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
