The Cho Light, designed by Dimitri Bähler for Established & Sons, is an exercise in literal and visual lightness.
A globe of crumpled, off-white, traditional Japanese Washi paper holds a custom low voltage LED bulb, creating a diffused, ambient glow upon your space. The light is easily dimmable with a continuous foot dimmer switch. The shade balances upon a fine 6mm diameter carbon-fibre rod, which extends up from a weighted, strengthened base to create the design’s almost impossibly light appearance. Adding to the design's poetic and ephemeral nature, the rod produces a dance-like movement when touched, injecting playfulness and dimension into what is otherwise a deceptively simple design.
The Cho Light shade comes with a built-in balloon and valve mechanism for easy inflation. Available in four sizes.
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.

Designer Profile
Dimitri Bähler
Swiss designer Dimitri Bähler launched his own studio in Biel in 2014 and has since been nominated for two Swiss Design Awards, directed a string of workshops and produced pieces for some of the world’s most adventurous design brands. He studied product design at ECAL in Switzerland and at Design Academy Eindhoven in The Netherlands, before moving back to the area he grew up in to launch his practice. Bähler describes his approach as spontaneous, radical and poetic, but with a foundation in substantial material and structural research. In 2016, his experimental ceramics collection VPTC – created to explore the relationship between volumes, patterns, textures and colours by using both digital and traditional tools – was named as the grand prize winner at Biennale Interieur, the respected design biennial in Kortrijk, Belgium.
