Brand Motarasu Brand Motarasu MOTARASU was founded in Denmark in 2019 by Mikkel Zebitz. Like many other Danes before him, Mikkel was inspired by the distinct Japanese design and aesthetics. But where classic Danish design icons as well as contemporary designers to a wide extent merely have let Japan act as an inspiration, Mikkel wanted to change this – “motarasu” means “to change” in Japanese – by uniting the designers of the two nations to create contemporary design together.Art and nature are the key elements in all of MOTARASU designs and the end-result are poetic, tactile and functional objects. MOTARASU works out of the showroom in Copenhagen with private clients, architects, galleries, and high-end retailers internationally.

FUJI Pendant

Toshiyuki Tani — Motarasu

FUJI is a reimagination of the traditional circular shape of the paper lantern, crafting an equilateral octagon solely through the use of heat treatment, without relying on any wire structure. Fuji is named after the famous Japanese mountain. This piece originates from Mito, celebrated as one of the primary regions for paper lantern craftsmanship. The lantern’s exterior has undergone a special process to repel water and stains, incorporating eco-friendly components like a PET resin framework. Typically, bamboo or wire is used for the lines of the frame, but for this lamp the frame has been cast in PET resin to let light through the frame and minimize the silhouette.
