The Samurai table lamp is part of the MaMo Nouchies series produced by Ingo Maurer in association with Dagmar Mombach in 1998. The use of paper by Isamu Noguchi was the catalyst for the cross-cultural designs which emerged from the series. Like all lamps in the series, the Samurai is made completely by hand. Plain sheets of handmade paper are transformed into different shapes by folding and pulling the paper. Several years of development went into discovering the perfect texture for these pieces, lamps which are not so much designed, but shaped.

The Samurai stands 29.5"h, comes with a continuously variable transformer-dimmer and a 50w bulb.
