New Light Pottery is a lighting manufacturer based in the ancient former Japanese capital of Nara. Founded in 2015 by designers Hiroyuki Nagatomi and Chizu Nara, the company creates understated designs that highlight the textures and natural beauty of brass, glass, ceramic and traditional Japanese washi paper. Each lamp is handcrafted in Japan by skilled artisans. Supporting Japanese craftsmanship and the artisans who keep these traditions alive has been central to New Light Pottery’s mission from the very beginning. Keeping production in Japan also allows for minor adjustments, special orders and unique finishes.

New Light Pottery will exhibit as part of the Japanmade Vol 1. exhibition. Japanmade Vol.1, a focused exhibition celebrating contemporary Japanese design and craftsmanship, will debut during 3daysofdesign 2026 from 10-12 June at Damfærgevej 2 in Copenhagen. New Light Pottery's lamps fuse timeless design and high-quality craftsmanship that will last for generations. The exhibition features a selection of lamps made of brass, glass, ceramics, wood and washi paper, and offers a rare opportunity to get a close look at the exceptional work of Japan's artisans. The exhibition is curated by OEO Studio and produced by Jens H. Jensen
