Description of the woven table lamp “Stripe”
Drawn in our studio the patterned structures are wonderfully woven in a unique artisanal weaving technique, elevating a timeless craft, a table lamp that surprises..
This natural lamp is woven by hand using a traditional basket weaving technic from Bolgatanga, in the north of Ghana. The delicate open weave stripes spread light patterns across walls.
Woven with the grass Veta Vera, which is naturally durable. This table lamp is vibrant above a dining table, in a bedroom, in a living room or hallway.
Technics used to make this lamp
Basket weaving from Bolgatanga is a a traditional African weaving technic. The grass Veta Vera grows locally. The reeds are twisted by hand and small batches are coloured using vegetable dyes in cauldrons.
The weaving is tight and smooth. Our lamps are woven by an association of weavers, these weavers have honed their art to make our contemporary shapes.
This lamp takes 6 days to weave in Ghana and is assembled to order in our workshop, now based in Barcelona, with CE certified electrics (or UL if you are in Americas) and brass fixtures.
Why choose this lamp… ?
