Hymn Cordless Lamp

Hiroto Yoshizoe drew his inspiration from a semi-underground chapel in Florence, where a single candle set stone walls in motion with shifting light. The Hymn Cordless Lamp translates that memory into a precise, portable object, converting the emotional grammar of open flame into contemporary form.

At the center of the design is a pendulum lens suspended by a magnet. Refraction concentrates illumination so that light appears to emerge solely from the tip of an acrylic column. The gentle sway of the pendulum produces a wavering quality that reads as breath rather than electricity. When switched off, the lamp extinguishes with a slow fade, the way a flame surrenders to darkness.

• Rechargeable and fully cordless construction
• Magnetic pendulum lens creates organic, flame-like movement
• Acrylic column concentrates light to a single luminous point
• Suited for interior and covered outdoor settings
• Slow-fade off sequence replicates the rhythm of extinguishing a candle

Yoshizoe's practice consistently finds the meeting point between material restraint and atmospheric effect. The Hymn is not a reproduction of candlelight but a meditation on it, an object that holds memory as form.
