The Z2 Blond Paper Cover pendant has a handcrafted blond bamboo frame sheathed in handmade paper. The quality of the material, which was pressed into a textural pattern that creates dynamic shadows on surrounding surfaces, is a hallmark of the artisanal excellence for which Ay Illuminate is known. Available in black, gray, or natural, the shade leaves the upper and lower portions of the fixture uncovered to heighten the illumination it emits. The paper, made in a small village in the Philippines, is tied to the frame by hand.

Ay Lin Heinen and Nelson Sepulveda are the lead designers for Ay Illuminate, a Dutch lighting manufacturer that soulfully sources materials; empowers artisans in their own, often struggling, communities; and produces casually elegant and very unique fixtures in the process. Ay Lin co-owns the company with her husband Casper Heinen, and she has been a driving force in the development of the remarkable relationships they have developed with handcrafting communities from the start.
Nelson has been equally ambitious in this area since joining the company, his desire to develop lighting products that break new ground in terms of design knowing no bounds. As an example, Casper shares this anecdote that took place at the Maison & Objet fair last year: “Afghanistan has a place in the fair each year with the focus of local handcrafts, and one year it was a company that produced shawls. Nelson grabbed the people, bringing them to our booth, and we started taking the cotton shades off the fixtures and dressing the lights with the shawls. It took another year to play with the designs but the result is beautiful silk-cashmere shades for the Z series of pendants produced by a few women who have a lot of experience. The great thing is that they are so proud because they make something useful and beautiful.”
