この照明はあえて立てることでしか点灯できない。現代、光は器具やデバイスを通じて凄まい情報量と速度で流れ、私たちは光を無意識に扱っている。蝋燭や松明を用いたかつての人々は明かりを単に「照らす」ものではなく、「灯す」行為自体に何か儀式的な意味や精神性を見出していた。Sen Torchは「灯す」行為の持つ精神性を現代の生活に呼び戻す照明器具である。手に取り重力との均衡を感じながらそっと立てる。明かりを意識的に扱う時間や空間が、煩わしい日常に余白を与え私たちの意識を解放してくれる。
This light can only be turned on by daring to stand it up. Today, light flows through devices at a tremendous volume and speed, and we handle light unconsciously. Sen Torch is a lighting fixture that brings back the spirituality of the act of “lighting” to modern life. Holding it in one's hand, one can stand it gently, feeling its equilibrium with gravity. The time and space spent consciously handling the light gives us a blank space in our busy daily life and liberates our consciousness.
