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.
