Mic Itaya’s exhibition “Chochin” (提灯, lantern) at Daikanyama’s Gallery Speak Now is displaying multiple new works by the designer. The extraordinary lanterns are available for purchase too, from just a few thousand yen up to fifty and sixty thousand ($550-600+).

Itaya has apparently blended contemporary sensibility with the desire to harness the “communication power” of traditional lantern shapes. He came up with slender human faces and curving tubes that are part sculpture, part lighting fixture. The exhibition runs until 28th April.
