About Otsuchi Namizna svetilka

Otsuchi je namizna svetilka, izdelana iz jelenjega usnja, pridobljenega v mestu Otsuchi v prefekturi Iwate na Japonskem. Mesto je prizadel cunami, ki ga je povzročil veliki vzhodnojaponski potres leta 2011. Lokalni pridelki so bili pozneje poškodovani, saj se je število jelenov povečalo, število prebivalcev pa zmanjšalo. Lokalni lovci so začeli posel z divjačino, da bi izkoristili jelene, ulovljene kot škodljivce. Svetilka je zgrajena iz 3D-natisnjene strukture, prekrite z jelenjim usnjem, njena tekstura pa spominja na obliko živega bitja. Oblikovanje izkazuje spoštovanje do življenja jelena in ponuja umirjeno prisotnost.
