Collabration with Akita Kaneshiro
Who is he?

Name: Akita Kaneshiro  
​“LumiKen” — the name of Akita’s signature lamp. Every piece is slightly different, made with a unique flaw, and only 5 were ever made. It’s said that no two LumiKens shine the same way — just like people.

"Philosophy of the Series Not all lamps must shine bright.
Some exist to balance, to anchor, to breathe.
Each Lumi Form is a limited expression — functional art born from silence."

Special & Unique Design with Material used.

Every lamp Akita builds carries a unique story behind its design. He works as a freelancer, creating only when inspiration strikes. 
​He never mass-produces his work, firmly believing in quality and originality over quantity.

All LumiKen lamps are thoughtfully crafted using PLA filament, a biodegradable, plant-based material known for its eco-friendly properties.
Sourced from renewable resources like corn starch and sugarcane, PLA supports our commitment to sustainable design and responsible creation.
In addition, the PLA used in our lamps is a recycled+ grade, further reducing environmental impact without compromising on structural integrity or finish quality. 

​At LumiKen, we believe great design should not only illuminate spaces, but also protect the world we live in.

See Some Examples

​“LumiKen” Lamp Series

LumiKen Lamp Series features two distinct collections: Lumi and Lumi Form.
The Lumi series showcases limited-edition lamps with a signature soft blue luminescence that remains visible even in complete darkness — a symbol of subtle hope and quiet strength. Each design is crafted with exclusivity and emotional depth. In contrast, the Lumi Form series focuses on sculptural, non-illuminating pieces that serve as spatial statements — minimalist, meditative, and inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics. Together, both collections embody LumiKen’s philosophy: artful design, meaningful presence, and intentional creation over quantity.

Lumi Form No. 01  
Kizuna no Kō (絆の交)
“Intersection of Bonds”
​Concept:
Lumi Form No. 01 — Kizuna no Kō A lamp not meant to shine,
 but to remind us of where paths cross.
 Silent. Grounded. Full of unseen meaning.
 Built to hold space — not light.

Lumi Form No. 03 
Akari no Kōji (灯の格子)
“Lattice of Light”
Concept:
This piece honors architectural simplicity and cultural quietness.
The red grid (格子, kōji) framing soft light symbolizes order and serenity,
​echoing the peaceful glow of a lantern by a garden path.
“Akari” (灯) = Light, especially soft or warm lamp light
“Kōji” (格子) = Lattice or grid, reflecting the lamp’s structured facade

Lumi Form No. 02 
Hinagiku no Sō (雛菊の装)
“Attire of the Daisy”
Concept:
The lamp’s shape evokes a daisy bud gently opening, with its soft vertical lines
resembling petals wrapped in calm, protective elegance.
​The wooden legs root it like a stem into the earth — grounding, balanced, and quiet in charm.
“Hinagiku” (雛菊) = Daisy
“Sō” (装) = Attire, or the way something is dressed or presented
Together: A poetic name that captures simplicity, natural elegance, and comfort in stillness.
