Tsujikazu’s cordless lamps glow with prismatic colour and glass craft

Tsujikazu’s first cordless table lamps now illuminate HIN Aoyama in a tightly curated exhibition created with factory zoomer, each piece a distillation of the artist’s meticulous approach to glass. The collection gathers lamps in saturated jewel tones, deep blues, warm cinnabar reds, soft butter yellows, alongside subtler neutrals, their shades rendered in frosted or ribbed glass, some adorned with delicate linear cuts that catch and scatter light across a room’s surface.

The cordless format represents a decisive shift in Tsujikazu’s practice, liberating these vessels from fixed sockets and allowing them to migrate across a table, desk or shelf with the ease of objects made for touch and proximity. Each lamp marries a glass shade, hand finished with the artist’s characteristic precision, to a compact base rendered in complementary tones. The palette spans textured surfaces and smooth finishes; some shades emerge frosted and opaque, others semi translucent, allowing the warm glow from within to diffuse across their patterned surfaces like candlelight through silk.

The exhibition draws together examples that showcase the full spectrum of Tsujikazu’s glass vocabulary: richly coloured bases paired with cream or opalescent shades, geometric cuts orchestrated across cylindrical forms, and subtle surface treatments that reward close examination. Each lamp suggests an object designed for a particular moment, pooled light for reading, ambient warmth for evening, the sculptural presence of colour and form even when unlit.

HIN Aoyama hosts the show until 16 November, open from 11:00 to 19:00 daily except Tuesdays. The artist will be present on Saturday 7 November. Those wishing to visit after 15:00 that day, or from Sunday onward, may enter without advance reservation; queuing from 14:30 is possible for those who prefer to gather beforehand.
