Making of a Kumiko lamp.
Kumiko lamps are a traditional Japanese craft that combines intricate woodwork with the art of lighting. The name "Kumiko" refers to the technique of interlocking wooden pieces without the use of nails or glue, creating beautiful geometric patterns. These lamps are often made with thin, delicate wooden slats, which are assembled to form detailed, decorative panels. When illuminated, Kumiko lamps produce a soft, warm glow that enhances the beauty of the intricate designs, creating a peaceful and calming atmosphere. They are highly regarded for their craftsmanship and are a blend of art and function, making them unique pieces of home decor.
