Amazing And Unique LED Mushroom Lights From Yukio Takano
Posted by Richard Clarke on 23rd Apr 2013
Exclusive. Ingenious. Different. Japanese designer Yukio Takano’s LED Mushroom lights aren’t your average table lamps.
Upon first glance, it’d be easy to mistake these for the real thing – such is the aesthetics of these lamps. They’re made by incorporating LED lights in small, mushroom-shaped pieces of glass.
These structures are then mounted on reclaimed wood and bark, for a real authentic look.
The only thing, if anything, that makes it obvious this has been fabricated by man, is the conspicuous, retro on/off switch on each lamp.
A battery pack hidden away underneath the wood powers the LEDs – so everything comes in one stunning unit that effortlessly combines LED technology with the beauty of nature.
The lamps come packaged in gorgeous, aged wooden boxes – adding to the bespoke feel of each product. Bear in mind that each lamp is individually crafted, and is one of a kind.
Takano – the man behind the lights – seems to have something of an obsession with mushrooms. His website is called The Great Mushrooming – where he has a collection of other mushroom-inspired designs, mushroom photography and a mushroom blog!
