Hotaru Double Bubble Pendant - Large
Ozeki & Co

In collaboration with twentytwentyone, leading British designers Barber & Osgerby have created a range of lighting drawing on the heritage of Japanese lantern-making. The Hotaru collection launched at the London Festival of Design 2015, and represents the perfect unison of traditional craft with an enduring aesthetic that is as modern as it is timeless.

Named after the Japanese word for ‘firefly’, the collection is manufactured by Ozeki & Co Ltd, a celebrated Japanese company dedicated to making washi paper lanterns since 1891. Ozeki have previously collaborated with numerous Japanese artists and designers and worked with Isamu Noguchi on the production of his Akari light sculptures.

There are two different lantern shapes in the Hotaru range. Double Bubble derives its strong, sculptural profile from the fusing of twin spheres, while Buoy is inspired by a maritime marker – at once anchored and weightless. Both shapes come in smaller and larger sizes, making them suitable for a variety of home and commercial spaces.

The Large Hotaru Double Bubble Pendant is supplied with black lacquered steel ceiling rose, E27 lamp holder with bulb and 2m black cloth-covered cable.

Furniture Order Process

Furniture and Lighting items are available to purchase online or with our dedicated consultants at our Auckland showroom.

Our range consists of:

Stocked Items

We hold a range of items in stock from all the brands we work with, these focus on products such as dining chairs, coffee tables, side tables, dining tables, lighting, outdoor furniture, beds, barstools and a small amount of upholstered items. These can normally be ready for dispatch within 3 - 4 days of receiving an order.

Made to Order Locally

Many of our products and particularly upholstered items are made to order, this way we can produce a product that is unique to your requirements. In terms of fabrics there are many possibilities outside of what you see on this site and we are happy to discuss what will work best for you and your environment. Lead times noted online are an estimation and can vary depending on the time of the year, fabric and material availability or manufacturing workloads. For example a chosen fabric may be out of stock, or our manufacturers have pre-christmas cutoffs from late September.

Imported Product

We strive to keep a selection of our best sellers from the import brands we work with in stock, but to keep this range diverse we aren’t able to hold all items in stock, so a number of our imported items will have lead times from worldwide locations. Lead times noted online are an estimation and can vary depending on the time of the year or with freight disruptions.

Ordering products with lead times:

When an order is placed for a product with a lead time, please make sure all details are correct as made to order or imported items are unable to be returned.If you need to make a change to your order, please contact us within one business day, as we may not be able to accommodate changes after this time or a fee may be incurred.

When your order is placed, we will review and be in touch if there are any changes to the noted lead time, such as fabric availability or orders placed after Christmas manufacturing deadlines. Otherwise you will receive a confirmation of your order and we will touch base closer to completion to arrange collection or delivery.
