About Otsuchi Lum de taula

Otsuchi es una lampa de taula facha amb de cuèr de cèrvi provenent d'Otsuchi, dins la prefectura d'Iwate, al Japon. La vila foguèt tocada pel tsunami provocat pel Grand Tèrratrem de l'Èst del Japon de 2011. Las culturas localas foguèron puèi damatjadas quand lo nombre de cèrvis aumentèt e que lo nombre d'estatjants demesiguèt. De caçaires locals comencèron un negòci de carn de sauvatgina per valorizar los cèrvis caçats coma nosibles. La lampa es bastida a partir d'una estructura estampada en 3D cobèrta de cuèr de cèrvi, e sa textura remembra la forma d'un animal viu. Lo design onora la vida del cèrvi e ofrís una preséncia serena.
