Katsu wall lamps and night lights are crafted from aluminum sheet and detailed with a wealth of materials, including plexiglas and paint. The handcrafted figures are saw cut, then bent, rolled or hammer formed to give each light its unique shape. Elements that enhance the lighting effect, such as Plexiglas, marbles or flickering light bulbs are incorporated into each design. Painting adds the final definition and vibrancy. Described as contemporary narrative Katsu lights are functional, atmospheric and sculptural.
