Otsuchi Table Light
Otsuchi Table Light
Otsuchi is a table lamp made from deer leather sourced in Otsuchi, Iwate, Japan. The town was struck by the tsunami caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Local crops were later damaged as the number of deer increased and the number of residents declined. Local hunters began a game meat business to make use of deer hunted as pests. The lamp is built from a 3D printed structure covered with deer leather, and the texture recalls the form of a living animal. The design honors the life of the deer and offers a calm presence.
