Henki is a mood lighting that creates a calm atmosphere in the space. Things are turned upside down in the product design. The light source is placed on the upper part and the lamp shade is place on the table. The body is mold blown glass and the upper part is lathed ash. The form is also playing with the limits of the material by having a very thin neck and a very large body. The idea was to make a minimalistic product with a strong character and a sculptural look. Thanks to glassblower Manuel Diemer from Nuutajärvi Glass school for help with the glassblowing.
