WA is a table lamp crafted from reused train parts of the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line 8500 series, which retired in January 2023. Around 1,400 resin ring components, originally used as train strap handles, were collected and turned into a limited edition of 150 lightings. Inspired by the white colour and the ring form of the strap handles, the table lamp was designed as a functional and long-lasting statement piece. The lampshade is formed by stacking 9 reused straps with small gaps between them to gently filter the light. The rings were sandblasted to clean their surfaces and achieve a durable soft matte finish. Surface marks from years of use, like scratches and dents are intentionally preserved, creating a unique crackle-glaze effect that celebrates the primary life of the rings. The mirrored metal legs hold the rings together and harmonise the assembly. All metal parts are made from rust-resistant stainless steel. The lamp is built to last while considering end-of-life disassembly. WA was developed with an overall sustainable approach, from material reuse and timeless design to local assembly.

Limited number available soon.
