108" the number of human desires

Back to the story in 1997 winter,with temperature under the freezing point,the snow field of small valley inTakayama Japan was covered with the visionary atmosphere by the warm lights of woody shade lamps.The Lamp shade was made with sliced natural wood veneers, and that flucrual illumination was made by Japanesetypical candle inside.

This was the corroboration project done with Japanese Lighting Designer "Hiroshi Hashida"(PLOTO DESIGN)and number of 108 Lamp was set with 108 different kinds of wood species!

Anyway, it must have been very cold for AfricanWood Species for their first experience standing on the COLD WHITE SNOW!
