“Komorebi” is a Japanese word describing the soft, shifting light created when sunlight filters through the leaves of trees. This interplay of brightness, shadow and movement informs the design of the Ishigaki lamps, whose colours and materials produce an abstract intersection of fabric, liquid and light.

Through a minimalist aesthetic that draws from Japanese and French influences, Aki+Arnaud Cooren are known for integrating subtle references to nature into objects and interiors. Showcasing the latest additions to their Ishigaki collection, this new exhibition celebrates the evolution of one of the designers’ most striking contributions to contemporary design.

Now open | Komorebi featuring works by Aki+Arnaud Cooren
 
The exhibition features new lighting pieces by Aki+Arnaud Cooren, the Paris-based design studio known for serene, dreamlike creations that evoke poignant and harmonious confluences with the natural world. The works on display add to the designers’ Ishigaki collection – an ongoing series of lamps inspired by memories of freediving off the coast of Ishigaki Island in southern Japan.
 
Like a diver moving through gentle currents, the Ishigaki lamps invite viewers to experience illumination as something alive. These serene, evocative pieces are shaped by two worlds: the quiet shimmer of komorebi and the deep, fluid calm of freediving. They echo the way light softens and disperses as one descends underwater but also the dappled patterns found beneath forest canopies. As such, the lamps create a bridge between forest and ocean.

📍Carpenters Workshop Gallery, London

The Clarus Collective has visited @carpentersworkshopgallery. The official exhibition is opening on the 12th of March.

Komorebi by @aplusacooren is featuring serene and dreamlike lighting pieces that evoke a harmonious connection with the natural world. The works belong to the designers’ Ishigaki collection - a series of lamps inspired by memories of freediving off the coast of Ishigaki Island in southern Japan.

Also there is Persistence of Form, an exhibition exploring the dialogue between jewellery and functional art through a shared language of composition and form. Bringing together female perspectives from the gallery’s roster, the exhibition highlights practices that move fluidly between functional art and jewellery, showing how jewellery can become a natural extension of an artist’s creative practice.

You can also enjoy refined Italian dining at @pollini_ladbrokehall. The dining space reflects architect Vincenzo De Cotiis’s architectural framework, which respects the building’s original 1903 Beaux-Arts structure while introducing a contemporary sensibility.

Komorebi by Aki+Arnaud Cooren opens 12 March at Carpenters Workshop Gallery London.

‘Komorebi’ is the Japanese word describing the soft, shifting light created when sunlight filters through the leaves of trees, similar to the shadow and movement that informs the design of the Ishigaki lamps.

Like a diver moving through gentle currents, the Ishigaki lamps invite viewers to experience illumination as something alive. These serene, evocative pieces are shaped by two worlds: the quiet shimmer of komorebi and the deep, fluid calm of freediving. They echo the way light softens and disperses as one descends underwater but also the dappled patterns found beneath forest canopies. As such, the lamps create a bridge between forest and ocean.

OPENING 12 MARCH | 6-8PM

#BeyondtheFrame Series: Henri Charreau takes us on a tour of our Booth B19 at  #PADLondon 2025 

Highlighting Aki+Arnaud Cooren’s acclaimed Ishigaki Lamp series, inspired by freediving adventures off the coast of Ishigaki Island in southern Japan. Their practice blends Japanese and French design sensibilities into lighting sculptures that reflect a harmonious and poetic connection with the natural world.

As light passes through the lamp’s layered linen shade, it casts a mesmerizing shadow across the ceiling, evoking sunlight shimmering on the ocean’s surface as seen from beneath the water.
