This elegant lamp was finely hand-crafted by expert artisans' hands. In fact, the rattan has been bended through a traditional method called "piegatura a caldo", which consists of the usage of steam which allows the organic material to be delicately bended. Reed features are: elasticity, flexibility and lightness.
This past wisdom allowed to achieve a remarkable variety of elegant decor pieces, characterised by extreme strength and durability which are still really in vague nowadays.
The lamp shade is made of vintage beige paper that comes to us in really great conditions. If you wish, you can also personalise this lamp by changing the color of the paper. The lamp fits a regular E27 light bulb and the total height can be easily adjusted by removing reeds parts from the chain.
This organic element will easily fit in any kind of environment.
A one of a kind beautiful example of vintage Italian craftsmanship for your special environment.
