Gion Lantern
Designer:
Alexander Lamont
The Gion Lantern by Alexander Lamont takes its name from Kyoto’s historic entertainment district, reflecting a layered composition of forms that slide and cup around a concealed light source. Wrapped in richly grained ivory parchment, the exterior contrasts with a softly polished gold interior that both reflects and deepens the warm glow. The piece continues Lamont’s exploration of lighting as a balance of material, atmosphere, and sculptural presence.

Founded in Bangkok in 2000, Alexander Lamont works across furniture, lighting, objects, and decorative wall panels, bringing together unique natural materials, traditional hand techniques, and contemporary forms.
The preservation of the hand in the making is central to Alexander Lamont, in a world of increasing mass mechanical production. Drawing from the technical heritage and expertise of Europe and Asia, the studio’s minimal and organic designs are shaped with a contemporary reverence for the rituals of craftsmanship, and for the humanity infused within every piece.
