LITO Shadow Lantern by Nina Thöming for blomus — An open steel-rod candle lantern that throws patterned shadows across the room, in four sizes and four colors.
Part of LITO, the powder-coated steel lanterns and bowls by Nina Thöming for the German design house blomus.
The Design Story
Thöming wanted a lantern whose decoration is the light itself: the thin rods disappear, and the shadows take over the room. Thöming of Germany’s Flöz Design built LITO from thin powder-coated steel rods, so the object itself is light and the shadows it throws do the decorating.
Thin steel lines, a candle or fruit inside, and a room full of shadow patterns: LITO is decor that works with light.
Why You’ll Love It
Light a candle and the room becomes a pattern of soft lines.
Made for Real Life
Dust with a soft cloth. Use a candle that sits steady inside and never leave a burning candle unattended or near curtains. The powder coating gives the steel rods an even, matte color all the way around. Pairs well with the LITO wire bowl, LITO LED cordless lantern and FAROL mini lamp.

Why We Love It
LITO adds a sculptural, almost drawn quality to a table or shelf, and changes completely when the light comes through it. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
