Lamp shade MARU_TAMAKOYAMADA

This is a three-dimensional work made of natural fabric that has been decomposed and corroded by microorganisms by burying dyed fabric in the soil.
When you hold it in your hand, you feel its lightness and fragility, but at the same time, you also feel its vitality due to the slow flow of nature's “cycle” of time.
After the cloth is dug up, it is carefully treated so that further corrosion will not occur.

◯Moisture and humidity may deform this product. Dry the body gently with a hair dryer and push it back from the inside to restore it to its original shape.
◯The color may fade in strong direct sunlight.
