YASUKE - Table Lamp

Yasuke Table Lamp by DCW Editions – A Fusion of Cultures, Shapes, and Light

An adjustable table lamp with a distinct identity, the Yasuke by DCW Editions blends technical precision with organic form. Designed by Studio Fuksas, the lamp is named after Yasuke, the first African samurai in Japan — a figure symbolizing dialogue between cultures. This layered meaning is reflected in the lamp’s design: smooth curves meet sharp lines, while function and emotion are held in quiet balance.

The lamp features a generous, asymmetrical shade that seems to hover effortlessly above its base, diffusing light gently while allowing for directional control. The result is soft yet intentional illumination, perfect for a work desk or reading corner. Its base is solid and sculptural, anchoring the piece with a sense of calm. The materials and finishes – often in subtle tones of black, white, or brass – underline the lamp’s refined, almost meditative character.

DCW Editions has once again succeeded in producing a piece that is more than just a lighting object. Yasuke is a dialogue between East and West, strength and softness, tradition and innovation. It invites you not only to see, but to feel — to reflect, to focus, to pause. The Yasuke Table Lamp brings light with meaning, purpose, and undeniable presence.
