KDLN Kyudo Floor Lamp

KDLN Kyudo Floor Lamp - The project, by Hansandfranz, got inspired by the ancient Japanese art of archery. A thin and flexible light arc designed to communicate elegance, balance, harmony. Kyudo comes from the talent of two young German designers, Konstantin Landuris e Horst Wittmann - Hansandfranz, who share with KDLN the unconventional and out of scheme approach to spaces and to solutions. Kyudo, literally "the way of the bow", is a thousand-year discipline deeply rooted in Zen philosophy and it is based on completely opposite attitude towards the western rationalism. Focusing on the target is not as important as the inner concentration and the beating of each gesture as a part of a precise ritual, in a magnetic dance originated by the breath. While drawing from remote cultures and ancestral meanings KDLN recurs to advanced technologies and material, coming out with greats and creatives results. Led technology creates a luminous ribbon along one of the two arcs of the lamp structure. The arcs slide one on the other allowing the extention both of the lamp and of the luminous line. It can be regulated to users liking. "Kyudo". A shape easily adaptable to different situations: reading, relaxing, conviviality.
