Light Up Your Day

TheGreenHead: Looking for an alternative to traditional and clichéd Japanese paper lanterns? Check out these new Balloon Lamps from designer/musician Kouichi Okamoto. Best of all, they have no wires to mess with and they come with a built-in hook for hanging! Margarita Nights at Green Head HQ are about to become much more festive! Very Cool.
“The BalloonLamp is based on the Japanese Chochin; a portable lamp which was illuminated by candlelight, from the EDO period. Designer/musician Kouichi Okamoto has updated this lamp by replacing the candle with a LED and the paper lantern with a standard rubber balloon. Since the LED light source does not generate any heat the balloon is safe from being damaged or melted. The balloon also makes a great diffuser for the bright LED.”
“The BalloonLamp is very portable and can be used indoors or outdoors for decorating, camping or backyard parties. It can be deflated after use and easily stored.”
