about this product
The Formakami JH5 by Jaime Hayon is a pendant lamp that playfully reimagines traditional Asian rice paper lanterns with a contemporary twist, merging East and West through its airy, bulbous shape. Handcrafted from ivory-colored rice paper and grounded by black-stained oak rings, the design captures the essence of centuries-old lantern craftsmanship while feeling distinctly modern and Nordic. Its organic, sculptural form creates a warm, soft glow that feels both whimsical and elegant, embodying Hayon's philosophy that lamps play an important emotional role in people's lives by chasing away darkness with hope. The pendant's minimalist aesthetic and handcrafted quality make it a striking visual statement that works beautifully in contemporary interior spaces.
about the designer
Jaime Hayon
Jaime Hayon is a Spanish artist and designer. As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today. After studying industrial design in Madrid and Paris he joined Fabrica in 1997, the Benetton-funded design and communication academy, working closely with the legendary image-maker and agitator Oliviero Toscani. In a short time he was promoted from student to head of their Design Department. Eight years later, Jaime broke out on his own, first with his collections of designer toys, ceramics and furniture, later followed by interior design and installations.
