Introducing SOLO: A New Era of Portable Lighting

YAMAGIWA, a Tokyo-based company known for importing and selling original lighting and furniture brands from across the globe, is set to launch an innovative portable lighting solution dubbed "SOLO" on November 4, 2025. Collaborating with designer Keita Suzuki from the PRODUCT DESIGN CENTER, SOLO embodies the theme of 'light for human connection.' This remarkable light is designed to aid reflection and focus, making it an essential addition to your personal space.

Unique Design for Mindfulness

SOLO features a thoughtfully crafted shade cut at an angle, coupled with a 60-degree light distribution. This design directs a gentle beam of light precisely where it's needed, without introducing distractions to your line of sight or thoughts. Available in two stunning models - a desk lamp with a timeless silhouette and a slender stand lamp at 1100mm - SOLO is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The stand lamp can be elegantly placed behind a sofa, illuminating only what's needed for a reading session, or it can softly light the center of a dining table, fostering a warm environment for conversation. Both models are designed to be portable, enabling easy movement between spaces as required. The light also harmonizes seamlessly with digital devices, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Vibrant Color Options

The SOLO collection is available in three sophisticated colors: a silk-like white, a matte black reminiscent of raw iron, and a vibrant green. Each finish boasts a unique craftsmanship that combines industrial precision with artisanal quality, making these lights a delightful addition to any setting. Whether you're seeking solitude for contemplation or creating focus for productive work, SOLO is designed to support those moments.

Designer Insights

The inspiration for SOLO stemmed from observing the creative process of a friend who is a Yuzen textile artist. The designer, Keita Suzuki, witnessed the beauty of intense concentration while the artist was engrossed in work. This moment sparked the desire to create a light specifically designed for individual reflection. The balance achieved through the new 60-degree lighting concept captures this essence beautifully—offering precise illumination without overwhelming the senses.

Throughout the development process, Suzuki collaborated extensively with YAMAGIWA, experimenting with various designs to achieve a harmonious blend of form and function. The result is a versatile lighting solution that adapts to various lifestyles and environments.

A Light for the Modern Age

As technology continues to advance, there’s an increasing need for personal reflection in an ever-connected world. SOLO is not just another design; it represents a philosophical approach to lighting—a reflection of what it means to be human today. The focused illumination it provides helps delineate the user’s presence, becoming a catalyst for deeper thought and creativity.
