Hashi
Made by Davide Groppi
Designed by Davide Groppi
Hashi takes its name from the Japanese word for chopsticks. Two slender arms extend from a central pivot, each independently positionable, each a source of directed light. The composition is almost calligraphic, a drawn line held in space by proportion rather than mass.
Davide Groppi built his practice around a single conviction: light is the material. The fixture exists only to disappear, leaving illumination as the presence in the room. With Hashi, that philosophy reaches an absolute reduction, a fulcrum and two gestures, nothing more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the name Hashi mean?
Hashi is the Japanese word for chopsticks. Davide Groppi chose the name to reflect the lamp's paired arms and the visual balance they create around a central pivot point.
Can both arms of the Hashi be adjusted independently?
Yes. Each arm rotates independently from the central pivot, allowing precise directional control over two distinct light sources within a single form.
Where is the Hashi floor lamp made?
Hashi is designed and manufactured in Piacenza, Italy, where Davide Groppi's studio produces all of its pieces with close attention to fabrication quality and material reduction.
What is Davide Groppi's design philosophy?
Groppi approaches lighting with the belief that light itself is the primary material. His fixtures are stripped of decorative gesture so that the quality and direction of illumination become the sole focus.
Is the Hashi lamp suitable for architectural or contract projects?
Hashi's made-to-order production and minimal, architecturally resolved form make it well suited to residential, hospitality, and institutional settings where lighting is treated as part of the spatial concept rather than an accessory.
