Natura Handwoven Bamboo Ceiling Lamp

Woven shades are the only kind that decorate the room as well as light it. Light escaping between the bamboo strands lands on the ceiling and walls as a fine pattern of lines, so switching the lamp on changes the whole surface of the room rather than just adding brightness to it.

Each shade is woven by hand over a frame, which means the tension of the weave shifts slightly across the piece and the pattern it casts is its own. The bamboo is left in its natural color under a clear finish, so it stays warm-toned and sits easily with linen, timber and plants.

Using an integrated LED rather than a bare bulb matters here: it runs cool, which keeps heat away from natural fiber, and it sits far enough inside the shade to give an even glow rather than a hot center. This is a hardwired fitting: isolate the circuit at the breaker panel before installation, and have a qualified electrician carry out the work if you are not confident with house wiring.
