Mayuhana 2 Mini Double-Shade Pendant, Yamagiwa

Mayuhana 2 Mini Double-Shade Pendant, Yamagiwa — Small, but with the same depth and sparkle as its larger siblings.

Designed by Toyo Ito and made in Japan by Yamagiwa.

The Design Story

The Mayuhana series was designed by architect Toyo Ito for Yamagiwa, inspired by the way a cocoon wraps and protects. The Mini is the compact Mayuhana 2 model, sized for spaces where a large pendant would crowd the room, or for hanging in groups.

Why You’ll Love It

Small, but with the same depth and sparkle as its larger siblings. In black the spun strands glint when the light is on and look graphic when it is off. It is easy to use in a row over a counter or alone in a bedroom. The scale makes Toyo Ito’s design accessible to almost any room.

Made for Real Life

Give it a dry room (no bathrooms or steamy spaces), a steady, level spot and some clearance from anything flammable. We suggest a soft, dry brush once the lamp has cooled, with no water or sprays on the fiberglass. Complete the look with Mayuhana Mie Floor Lamp, Mayuhana Mie Pendant, Mayuhana 2 Oval Pendant.

How is the Mayuhana 2 Mini Pendant shade made?

The frame is spun while a continuous stream of fiberglass is laid over it, building up the cocoon-like shell.

Why We Love It

Mayuhana shows what happens when an architect designs a lamp: a structure made of light and thread. Since 1923 the Tokyo company has built lighting together with architects and designers, and today it is the hands behind both the Jakobsson Lamp and the Mayuhana collection.
