Yamagiwa
An orb of light floats within the transparent hard glass globe of the teardrop. Scaled to the size of a human heart, it is not a lighting fixture, but a design of light, itself. With this sophisticated design, one of the most notable points of its specification is the hard glass that is beautifully shaped like a pearl which is handmade by Japanese craftsmen.
Not only does it provide soft light with less glare with sandblasting inside, but it also produces mystical light that does not have the material element of a light source feel. It reaches your heart through a simple shape once lit up.
