Jaime Hayón's Chinoz collection of lights for Parachilna features rounded blown-glass diffusers that slope outward towards the bases.

The bodies are made by ceramic craftsman Italo Bosa, each created in a plaster mould and finished by hand before glazing and firing multiple times.

A dimmer switch changes the light intensity when moved up and down inside a vertical slit in the ceramic.

The ceramic element sits on a circular turned-wood base, raised up on three short legs.

The body comes in green, red and black, as well as a "ming" finish that references Chinese porcelain ware.

These colours can be mixed and matched with black, red and yellow ochre bases, along with matte white, glossy white and black diffusers.
