For details about the fair, visit here.About this workshopDiscover the beauty of handmade washi—traditional Japanese paper—whose delicate textures reveal their full depth when illuminated.In this hands-on workshop, the designers of Cream on Chrome guide participants in crafting their own lampshades using original washi sheets. Thanks to its special fibre structure, washi offers ways of modelling that are impossible with regular paper. Using a lamp design template, participants can get creative by matching different washi types and learn how to apply new and traditional methods of refinement. Under professional guidance, every participant will finish a custom-made, functional lamp to brighten up their home.Along the way, the designers share insights from their collaboration with papermakers in Japan’s Iwami region, reflecting on how this centuries-old craft embodies perspectives for a sustainable, resource-conscious future.Open to designers, creatives, and anyone curious alike, this workshop invites participants to explore washi’s sensual tactility and timeless design potential.About Cream on ChromeCream on Chrome is a Rotterdam-based design studio, specialising in multi-sensory experiences and storytelling.
