KOS | A Soft Glow Created by Ecru Pleats

KOS | A Soft Glow Created by Natural Pleats

A pendant light that blends nostalgia with the texture of brass, designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life.

Thank you for always supporting CTSH LIGHT.

This time, we would like to introduce KOS, a pendant light featuring a pleated shade.

KOS is a light fixture that combines a natural-colored fabric shade with a brass pendant.

For CTSH LIGHT., which has always valued the precise texture created by machining metal, KOS, wrapped in a fabric shade, is a light with a slightly softer expression.

Rather than making the light appear intense, it gently catches and diffuses it through the fabric.
While retaining the material feel of brass, it adds a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere to the space.

This balance is the charm of KOS.

What is KOS?

KOS is a pendant light featuring a pleated shade with a diameter of 23 cm.

Neither too large nor too small, it is a light that is easy to incorporate into a variety of spaces, such as dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and entryways.

The shade is made of natural-colored pleated fabric.

Rather than pure white, it has a natural-colored hue that feels warm and inviting.
The subtle shadows created by the fine pleats give the light itself a soft expression.

Simple, yet somehow nostalgic.
It blends naturally with both new spaces and old furniture.

KOS is a pendant light that adds a gentle glow to everyday life.

 

Soft Shadows Created by the Pleated Shade

What defines the impression of KOS are the fine folds of the pleated shade.

Rather than a flat piece of fabric, the pleats continue in overlapping folds.
These folds catch the light, creating subtle shadows on the surface of the shade.

During the day when the light is off, the texture of the fabric and the three-dimensional quality of the pleats become an accent in the space.
At night, illuminated by the bulb, the entire shade softly glows.

Unlike the strong reflection of metal, the light passing through the fabric has a gentle quality.

Rather than illuminating the entire room brightly, it is a light that adds a calm atmosphere to the space.
Its understated presence is what makes KOS unique.

The Natural-Colored Hue Blends Seamlessly into the Space

The natural color used for the KOS shade is a hue that blends easily into any space.

It is not as stark as white, nor as heavy as beige.
It is a natural, soft color that sits somewhere in between.

It pairs well with a variety of materials, including wooden furniture, brass fittings, white walls, reclaimed wood, rattan, and tiles, allowing it to be incorporated without disrupting the atmosphere of the interior.

In Nordic-style spaces.
In natural homes.
In rooms featuring vintage furniture.
In spaces where you want to add a slightly classic touch.

Rather than making a bold statement, the natural-colored pleated shade softly harmonizes the entire space.

The Quiet, Solid Texture Added by Brass

While KOS is a light fixture known for the softness of its fabric shade, it features a brass pendant at its center.

If the light were made entirely of fabric, it would have a lighter and gentler impression.
However, the addition of brass gives the space a slightly more solid character.

The natural-colored fabric softly catches the light.
The brass gives the entire light fixture a calm presence.

This combination ensures that KOS is not overly sweet, but instead has an elegant overall impression.

Brass is a material that gradually changes color over time.
As it is used, it develops a more settled character and blends even more naturally with the natural-colored shade.

Nostalgic, Yet Easy to Match with Modern Homes

KOS has a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere.

The soft outline of the pleated shade.
The calm, natural-colored hue.
The warmth of the brass.
The small glow of the bulb.

Together, they create a gentle atmosphere reminiscent of an old European-style building or café.

However, KOS is not merely a retro-style light fixture.

Its manageable size of 23 cm in diameter and simple design make it easy to incorporate naturally into modern homes.

Rather than simply recreating the past, it brings nostalgia into modern life in a way that suits today's lifestyle.
This balance is what makes KOS so appealing.KOS

 

A Size That Works Well Whether Used Alone or in a Group

KOS is characterized by its size, which is neither too large nor too small.

When hung alone, it is easy to use as an accent in a dining room, bedroom, or entryway.
When arranged in a group, the row of pleated shades creates rhythm in the space.

Arrange two lights along a kitchen counter.
Hang one light over the dining table, slightly lower than usual.
Incorporate it into a corner of the bedroom as a calm light.
Hang it in the entryway to provide a soft welcome when you return home.

The appearance of KOS changes depending on where it is used.

In places where you want to make the most of the softness of the fabric shade.
In places where you want to subtly incorporate the texture of brass.
In places where you want to add a slightly nostalgic atmosphere to the space.

KOS blends naturally into such spaces.

 

KOS is paired with an E17 bulb.

As the light from the small bulb softly spreads from inside the pleated shade, the entire light fixture takes on a calm expression.

Pairing it with a clear filament bulb allows the light of the bulb itself to be partially visible, creating a nostalgic atmosphere.
Choosing a warm-colored bulb also makes the natural-colored shade and the texture of the brass look even more beautiful.

KOS is not a light fixture that completely conceals the bulb.
The shade, the brass, and the bulb.

The interplay of these three elements completes it as a single light.

Adjust the Hanging Height to Suit the Space

The impression of a pendant light changes significantly depending on how low it is hung.

For a light with a strong presence like KOS, hanging it slightly lower creates a calm focal point in the space.
Above a dining table, the light gathers on the tabletop, softly enveloping mealtime.

On the other hand, hanging it slightly higher in an entryway or hallway can make the space look more open.

It is important to consider the ideal overall length based on the ceiling height, the height of the furniture, and how the space is used.

By adjusting the hanging height to suit the space, KOS can be made to blend even more beautifully.

 

A Soft Light for Everyday Life Created by Fabric and Brass

KOS is not a light fixture that makes a bold statement.

However, when hung in a space, it is a light that truly transforms the atmosphere.

The soft shadows created by the natural-colored pleated shade.
The quiet, solid character added by the brass pendant.
The somewhat nostalgic atmosphere created by the warm glow of the bulb.

Together, they create a calm moment in everyday life.

A slightly nostalgic character for a new home.
The softness of fabric for a simple space.
A gentle outline for a metal light fixture.

KOS is a pendant light that quietly blends into everyday life while leaving a warm afterglow in the space.
