The Tekio Collection from Santa & Cole is a series of contemporary pendant lamps designed by Anthony Dickens that fuses traditional Japanese techniques with modern technology. The name "Tekio" itself is Japanese for "adaptation," reflecting the collection's core design principle. The Tekio lamps combine a metal frame with beautiful Washi Japanese paper shades, creating a unique contrast between modern and ancestral elements. Washi paper is a highly-regarded material known for its warmth, resilience, and ability to filter light softly.
