Woven Light, Naturally

Hanging a lamp also means choosing the quality of light that will fill a room every day. This bamboo lantern pendant light filters the light of the bulb through a lattice of natural bamboo, casting soft shadows with shifting outlines on the walls. Its open silhouette and natural tone suit a raw interior as well as a more pared back decor. Each piece is shaped by hand, which gives it slight variations in weave from one to the next: signs of careful making, far from industrial repetition.

Woven by Hand, Piece by Piece

Behind every curve and every crossing of this Asian style bamboo pendant is a pair of hands that worked slowly, following a gesture repeated for centuries in the basket making workshops of Asia. Building the shape by crossing strands gives each light a slight surface irregularity: two pieces from the same model are never exactly identical. It is precisely this tiny variation, visible in raking light, that sets a handmade object apart from an industrial copy. You bring home a one of a kind piece, made with respect for a demanding weaving tradition.

Woven Lightness Overhead

Hung up high, a bamboo lantern pendant light turns the empty space above you into a lived in, almost living volume. The hand woven lattice lets light through in places, casting soft shadows on the walls that change with the time of day. This play between solid and open areas gives the room a breathing space few fixtures can offer. With its 120 cm cord, it adapts to your ceiling height, whether your space is intimate or generous. A handmade pendant that visually lightens the room without ever making it feel bare.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the bamboo lantern pendant?

The shade measures 7.9 in (20 cm) wide and 9.1 in (23 cm) high, on a 47.2 in (120 cm) cord. It suits a bedside, a small dining nook, a hallway or a group of pendants hung together.

What bulb should I use?

It takes an E27 base bulb. The bulb is not included. Choose an LED bulb, which stays cool next to natural fibers, and a warm white around 2700K for a cozy glow.

How high should I hang a pendant light over a table?

Leave about 30 to 36 in between the tabletop and the bottom of the shade. Over a walkway or in an entryway, keep at least 7 ft of clearance from the floor.

Can I hang several together?

Yes. Because the shade is compact, it looks great in a row of two or three above a kitchen island or a long table, or grouped at different heights in a corner.

How do I clean a bamboo shade?

Switch the light off and let the bulb cool. Dust the shade with a soft brush or the brush attachment of your vacuum, then wipe with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Never soak natural fibers.
