A longtime favorite light of ours has gone to the dark side: the ethereal Koushi lamp, which Remodelista contributor Izabella first spotted at Merci in Paris back in 2011. It’s the work of Paris-based American photographer Mark Eden Schooley, handmade using steel wire wrapped in semi-opaque cotton voile.

Above: The Koushi lamp comes in two sizes: the small is 24 by 16 inches; the large is 35 by 23 inches. Above: In the United States, HomeStories in Brooklyn carries the large Koushi Pendant Light in Black; $820. Above: Each Koushi lamp is handmade in Paris of steel wire and cotton voile. Above: The lamp can be ordered with a tie at the bottom (see final photo, below) or open, as shown here. Above: The light is not included, but can be purchased separately from HomeStories in either white (shown) or gray.
