Isamu is a tribute. Dani Vila and Ester Pujol of Nahtrang Disseny made it in 2010 for the Japanese designer and architect Isamu Noguchi, whose minimalist work, crafted from raw materials, conveys extraordinary emotion through beauty alone.
The warm light that filters through a woven silk shade gives it a sense of visual lightness.
The Design Story
Noguchi's paper lanterns are the spirit behind this piece. The Nahtrang studio translates them into a ribboned silk shade wrapped around a white lacquered metal frame, with a white polycarbonate diffuser inside. Three sizes, Ø 53 cm (20.9 in), Ø 77 cm (30.3 in) and Ø 118 cm (46.5 in), let the same idea grow from a gentle accent to a sculptural ceiling piece. Shades come in white, pearl or olive green. Carpyen makes it in its own Barcelona workshops.
About the Designer
Nahtrang Disseny is the Barcelona studio of Daniel Vila and Ester Pujol, specialists in lighting and furniture. Their philosophy rests on simplicity, function and emotional connection: objects that tell a story and create an atmosphere, linking the person and the piece. Their work is human in scale, accessible and carefully made, and the studio has collaborated with leading international brands.
Why You'll Love It
The shade is the pleasure here. The ribbons overlap to create a soft, textured surface that glows rather than shines, and the light feels ethereal and comfortable. The largest size makes an entire room feel composed, while the smallest suits a bedroom or hall. Pearl is subtle and luminous, white is crisp, and olive green brings a quiet earthy depth.
Where It's Best Placed
Isamu is at home above a dining table, in a living room or at the top of a stairwell. Choose the diameter by the room: the 118 cm (46.5 in) size needs a generous space. It is intended for indoor, dry rooms.
