BendiNewsTest: Nendo Transforms Traditional Kyoto Cooking Utensils into Exquisite Wire Lamps

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Nendo Transforms Traditional Kyoto Cooking Utensils into Exquisite Wire Lamps

Japanese design studio Nendo recently unveiled the basket-lamp, a lighting fixture made from ‘kana-ami’, the cooking utensils used for traditional Kyoto dishes. Created in collaboration with Kanaami-Tsuji, a Kyoto-based manufacturer of the traditional wire nets, this new line of lamps celebrates Kyoto’s culture and traditional cuisine. Finished with powder paint, the wire netting casts beautiful woven pattern shadows onto the ceiling.
