A gorgeous statement woven pendant lightshade, handcrafted with native ilala palm by traditional makers using time-honoured techniques. Twisted and plaited palm leaves form a flexible but strong pendant light with a light ring woven into the basket. Stunning as a single piece, or displayed in sets. Each light shade is approximately 60cm high x 35 cm wide at the bottom, with variations occuring due to the handmade nature of the item.
Handcrafted in the Western Province of Zambia, each lightshade is unique, created with sustainable materials and empowers artisans to continue their craft while supporting their families.
Also available in Midnight Black.
ITEM DETAILS
Our pendant light shades are completely unique! Sizes and colours can vary due to the handmade nature of the item. Colours can vary according to when in the season the pendant was woven, and can develop in time after installation, usually becoming slightly darker. We are happy to send photos of your exact pendants if you need to choose a particular shade to ensure your satisfaction prior to shipping, as returns on this basis are not accepted.
Pendant lights can be reshaped if required by wetting the basket prior to installation and inserting a dry towel inside the basket to shape it to the required dimensions. Let dry overnight.
Each pendant light comes with a metal ring woven in to fit into a standard pendant kit. The ring has an E27 sized insert which can be removed to accommodate larger pendant light kit (please see photo showing light ring measurements).
Keep your pendant light shade clean by dusting or wiping gently with a cloth.
Electric light fitting not included - pendant light kits can be easily purchased at most hardware stores appropriate for your electrical requirements.
We recommend that your lights be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure that they are installed correctly. If required by relevant safety standards, a fireproofing spray can be applied regularly.
