-----------------------
"VARY" is an original product by bowks, a lighting factory in Tokyo.
The lighting is designed with suitable materials and shapes,
Harmony and balance in the space are also important elements.
VARY may seem unique at first glance,
It has the flexibility to be coordinated to suit various spatial environments,
It is a mysterious light that also has a neutral look.
bowks was created by lighting craftsman Yohei Terashima.
It was launched in 2021.
We produce custom lighting, repair foreign and antique lighting,
Collaboration with designers and artists
Mr. Terashima has been involved in various types of lighting for many years.
Based on the idea that design, product planning, and production process management should be on the same level,
Our mission is to produce products that combine high levels of design as interior décor with durability and safety as lighting.
VARY is the first of its kind for bowks.
It is currently positioned as the only standard product.
This is because "VARY" is one of the solutions for lighting products.
This is because it is an expression of the desire to pursue something universal rather than simply consuming design.
A combination of two shapes with beautiful lines: a triangle and a semicircle.
Four exquisite colors that seem unique yet blend well into any space.
It is a very simple combination that seems to have few components at first glance,
There are 64 different variations,
This is a product that can be customized like a semi-order.
The two cup-like design
It is not just a superficial shape.
The upper cup functions as a storage for adjusting the length of the cord,
The lighting fixture itself has a built-in device for adjusting its tilt.
In addition, to accommodate various ceiling shapes,
VARY also offers three types of flange cups.
At first glance, the form appears decorative, but the shape is efficient and meaningful in every detail, reflecting the unique perspective of a lighting craftsman who has worked with and created a wide variety of lighting fixtures.
Its high functionality, sense of security, and depth of knowledge,
Casualness that can be customized with a fashion sense,
The appeal of the VARY product lies in its beautiful design form.
When thinking about the interior,
Furniture alone does not create a space or a lifestyle.
Lighting, fabrics, and art are also important.
However, it may not be said that Japan still has a high level of lighting culture or design.
When thinking about enjoying life as an interior from the perspective of lighting, "enjoying darkness" is also an important element.
VARY is by no means a bright light that can illuminate an entire room with just one light.
However, it is a beautiful, domestically produced lighting product that provides light in the perfect form where it is needed.
It seems modern, yet classic.
It seems simple, yet unique.
VARY changes depending on the viewer and the situation.
Its versatility allows it to fit a variety of interiors and people,
A personality that exudes an overwhelming "core."
And it has a streamlined design and functionality.
It is a question about Japanese lighting culture and design,
It's a lighting that almost feels like it's pleading for an answer.
