Titia by Arihiro Miyake. Titia is a suspended swirl of light, ‘I had in mind a lamp that would bring together the spirit of Christmas garlands and wooden merry-go-rounds,’ summarises Arihiro Miyake.

‘It’s an old idea that I can at last bring to fruition thanks to the development of LED technology. A cluster of points of light are enclosed within a form that is as light as possible.’ Titia’s aim is to light a table in a diffuse and homogenous manner.

Titia is a delicate wire silhouette that exists in two sizes and is available in black or white. Why Titia? ‘When I close my eyes and think of Titia, I see a young girl who is happy, free and laughing whose nickname is Titia,’ smiles the Japanese designer who lives between Helsinki and Milan.
