Awa Medium Pendant Lamp
Made by BROKIS
The word awa in Japanese describes a bubble of air caught in liquid, a fleeting, weightless form that Fumie Shibata has made permanent in glass. Designed for Brokis, the Awa Medium Pendant Lamp interprets that image with hand-blown glass shaped into a softly inflated sphere, as though the breath of the glassblower is still held within it.
A wood or metal "stopper" element crowns the globe, anchoring the composition with quiet contrast. The gesture is simple and precise: two materials, two temperatures, one resolved form.
- Hand-blown borosilicate glass in transparent, smoked, or frosted finishes
- Stopper detail available in wood or metal
- Stem and canopy in aluminum on the standard configuration
- Designed by Fumie Shibata, Tokyo-based industrial designer known for her sensitivity to material and atmosphere
Shibata's practice moves between product and spatial design, always with attention to the way an object occupies air around it. The Awa pendant does exactly that: it floats, casts a diffuse glow, and reads as much as sculpture as it does as light source.

Frequently Asked Questions
What glass types are available for the Awa pendant?
The Awa pendant is available in transparent, smoked, and frosted hand-blown glass. Each finish produces a distinct quality of light diffusion, from clear and direct to soft and ambient.
Who is designer Fumie Shibata?
Fumie Shibata is a Tokyo-based industrial designer whose work spans product, furniture, and spatial design. She is recognized for an approach that emphasizes restraint, material sensitivity, and the relationship between an object and its surrounding space.
What does 'Awa' mean and how does it inform the design?
Awa is a Japanese word for a bubble of air suspended in liquid. Shibata used this concept to guide the form of the pendant, shaping hand-blown glass into a softly rounded sphere that appears to hold breath within it.
What is the stopper element on the Awa lamp?
The stopper is a wood or metal fitting at the top of the glass globe that references the image of a sealed bubble. It serves both a structural and aesthetic purpose, creating a deliberate material contrast with the glass.
