Saori Q2 Lamp by Kazuhide Takahama for Sirrah, 1970s Italy

Designed in the 1970s by Kazuhide Takahama for Sirrah, the Saori Q2 lamp is a striking example of minimalist, architectural lighting. Conceived as both a wall and ceiling light, its large square panel conceals the light source, allowing illumination to emerge subtly through a precise diagonal relief that animates the otherwise pure surface. The result is a calm yet highly conceptual object, where light, shadow, and geometry interact quietly rather than overtly. Influenced by Takahama’s background in Japanese aesthetics and Italian rational design, Saori Q2 transforms light into an abstract spatial element, making it as much a sculptural statement as a functional lamp—an iconic and highly collectible piece of 1970s design.
