By the time I came back to Paris a few months later, all the Koushis had gone from MERCI.
I tried to source it to add them onto our collection of lighting on BODIE and FOU but got nowhere.
I contacted Ay Illuminate in the Netherlands as they produced a very similar lamp designed by Nelson Sepudelva but it turns out that these lamps were too fragile for mail order.
I couldn't find it anywhere in the UK and in the end, I managed to find some at Serendipity, another nice concept store for kids in Paris. Unfortunately, the size I wanted, had to be made to order and after two years of searching high and low, in the end I decided to make our own.
Steve made the frame and I sewed a light and beautiful fabric onto the wire frame. Out of respect for the designer, I will not reveal how we made it. It was not that easy to get the frame a nice rounded shape and ours is probably not as nicely finished as the real deal but it fits perfectly with the master plan I have in mind in our lounge....which is almost reaching goal...Waiting for a Paola Navone sofa (which I will not make) and all our lounge will finally be finished.

It looks great! I have a plan to make one myself, just because it is so huge and I need a smaller version for our bedroom. So nice to see that it could be done!

your lounge is looking beautiful and I can so imagine the ghost sofa in there!!It will look even better ;)
Out of the three of us you are the only one who made zhe lamp ;) Well I did something with the paper ones Lau sent us but it broke during the work here at home. Anyway one day I will have one of both.. Ay Illuminate sent me the sizes off the smaller one... but still very expensive I think.
Enjoy your weekend ;)

Yes it is, I think the size I was looking out which was about the size of the one we made was 200 euros...
great work, thank you for posting it ! I still can't make up my mind, I like everytime more and more the lamp from Ay Illuminate that by the way is co-designed by nelson sepulveda and marc eden schooley if i got it right ?
the ghost sofa will look great with the lamp.
have a great weekend,

I was told by Ay Illuminate that the 2nd one was by Nelson but he and Marc are friends. It's juts not the same structure. The one by Nelson has a bamboo structure and the one by Marc has a wire structure.
I love it, your lounge is beautiful too!
