Hourglass Leaf Lamp – Natural

Hourglass Series

The Hourglass Lamp Series highlights the full textured jackfruit leaves in a meticulous overlapping flower pattern. The gentle curve of the iconic hourglass shape and contrasting abaca rope edges give these lamps a vintage feel that complements the soft, glowing light.

Features fossilized jackfruit leaves that are hand placed on a standard UL lamp backing and then laminated using a non-toxic adhesive. The panels are hand-stitched onto a powder coated, wrought iron frame to form a traditional Hourglass design. The corners and center of the lamp are accented with a thin abaca rope which is woven around the metal framing. The body of the lamp is set on four wooden finials.

Handmade with Care

The lamp frames are constructed from wrought iron that is hand-manipulated and welded into artisanal shapes. It is then sanded and finished with a powder coat.

Artisans collect many leaves, then soak them and rub the chlorophyll off, leaving only the “skeleton.” Then, they dye the leaves with non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes. Each leaf is then placed by hand on a standard UL lamp backing. The backing adds durability and protects the shade from damage.

Sustainable Materials

The leaves used in our lamps are collected after they fall from a tree naturally or they are plucked carefully from a living tree. In either case, the plant isn’t harmed. Additionally, our purchase of the leaves provides a secondary income to the framers who grow and care for plants.
