Inrō Pendant Lamps
Cecilia Rinaldi - Atelier Nuanda
The name Inrō derives from the ancient Japanese containers made by expert craftsmen of the Sengoku period (1467-1615),
These containers consisted of small stacked elements held together at the ends by a bead (ojime) and two passing cords. The traditional case was worn and suspended at the waist for the transport of strictly utilitarian objects, later becoming a collectible art object over the centuries.
Natural aluminium, a material used in industrial production for its high physical and mechanical qualities, was chosen by the atelier as the exclusive protagonist of the collection.
Once processed, the aluminium sheet reveals details that become both finish and decoration, taking technological effort to the extreme and overturning the paradigm of mass production: industrial machinery is used to obtain unique and unrepeatable pieces.
Like fabric moved by the wind, the voluptuous surface dissolved by the laser crystallises, cooling to create an extremely resistant and waterproof structure that defines a unique aesthetic, bringing to light the purity of natural aluminium, which has become a new and exclusive industrial finish.
The lamp is available in two different lengths, Inrō 192 and 342, each of which can be installed individually or inserted into multiple compositions to create even large chandeliers, for unique and diverse scenarios based on customer requirements and the installation location.

TECHNIQUE AND PROCESS
The materials used are part of a supply chain and production process focused on sustainability. Untreated natural aluminium is a 100% recyclable material. Laser cutting also eliminates the need for additional finishing processes, thus shortening the production chain and reducing time, pollution, costs and energy consumption.
