Taku Story
Our latest collection
A touchy subject
In a world of automation and smart every-things, our latest collection aims to buck modern conventions and take us back to a time when we had a deeper relationship with our objects. Time to Taku.
Taku - Made to Order
Activated by human touch
Alladin Industries filed key "Aladdin Lamps" patents in 1954 and 1956 for the world's first human-activated light, but due to electricity efficiencies the design did not see the light of day till the 1980s.
We thought it deserved another go.
Completely pluggable
Our new collection of ready to plug in table lamps in small and large are a first for the brand.
No electrician required.
Talking Points:
Price Range: $620 - $970
The Taku collection has more mass than any other light we have to date. Density and mass in a compact form with scale and application gives this collection complete versatility.
Featuring two styles of plug-in table lamps in large and small with the small style doubling as a plug-in wall sconce, and a single glass light sconce that works as a wall and flush mount light.
The integrated LED bulb is hidden behind the metal covering giving off a radiant glow while an internal diffuser gives the lamps three layers of light diffusion allowing for the most uniform lighting qualities.
Glass features:
Crystal : A conical shape of glass in which light is interpreted through an interior void that is repeated in both pieces of glass. This repetition guides light up through both pieces of cast glass to wondrous effect.
Frosted: Two frosted pieces of glass diffuse the light which dissipates slightly as it moves vertically towards the top of the lamp creating more nuance and subtlety.

Small Table Lamp
The proportions on the small table lamp were intentional to minimize the base and put more emphasis on the glass. This product has a compact form and spreads light evenly in all directions since the base is smaller than the glass piece. It's a great option for small spaces or surfaces where you want minimal visual disruption.
Glass Options: Frosted, and Crystal
Metal Finishes: Brushed Brass, Antique Bronze, Matte Black, Matte White, and Black Patina
Price Range: $660 - 770
Taku Collection
Large Table Lamp
The small chamfered edge on the glass form breaks up the line in-between the two pieces of glass and also brings the contour of the slightly oversized glass piece into the same contour of the base.
Proportion on this was also important, design has the two pieces of glass slightly shorter than the base yet with the width of the glass being slightly larger it creates a balanced visual presentation.
Glass Options: Frosted, and Crystal
Metal Finishes: Brushed Brass, Antique Bronze, Matte Black, Matte White, and Black Patina
Price Range: $860 -$970
Taku Collection
Corded Sconce
With a lean towards utility and the added design detail of the cord holder this sconce is a two in one package deal.
The cord holder matches the metal finish and easily mounts to the wall (and doubles as a small table light). The fixture has easy installation making it a great solution for a quick upgrade in any space.
Glass Options: Frosted, and Crystal
Metal Finishes: Brushed Brass, Antique Bronze, Matte Black, Matte White, and Black Patina
Price Range: $660 -$770

all in a name: Taku
The name comes with global context as the word itself has multiple meanings. Not only is Taku a glacier in Alaska it is also the name of an indigenous group that lives along the Taku River near the glacier. In Japan Taku means home, it has also been the name of an Orca, an astroid, and urban slang for a "cute guy".
