A special project, an authentic ready-made.
Obtained from a flexible fishing rod, it is a delicate and elegant sign, which brings to mind the subtle branches of a willow tree or bamboo canes floating on a light breeze.
Sampei is an unexpected gift, it is the magic of looking up, using light as a hook, and being amazed by so much weightlessness. The light is the fisherman’s line, catching faces, gazes, people.
Available in 4 different heights and also in an outdoor version.
