Macrame Chandelier, Natural

Soft textile changes the feeling of light. This cotton macrame chandelier brings a sculptural, natural layer to a room, with tiers of knotted rope and loose fringe that turn a bare bulb area into something warmer and more considered.

Tiered cotton, soft movement

• The natural cotton colour keeps the look gentle, sitting easily with wood, linen, rattan and pale walls.
• Three fringed tiers give the piece depth, so it reads as a hanging textile as much as a light shade.
• The loose strands add movement and shadow, especially when placed where the light can fall through the knots.
• The circular form feels generous without looking heavy, avoiding sharp, industrial lines.
• It suits slow interiors, boho rooms, bedrooms and quiet corners where texture matters as much as illumination.

Light filtered through knot-work

Use it where you want light to feel layered rather than plain. The fringe and open macrame soften the outline of the bulb area, adding pattern and texture overhead without covering the room in a solid shade.

A cool-running LED or low-energy bulb is the right choice for this piece, as the cotton rope should not sit close to anything that becomes hot.

Hand-woven cotton from Indonesia

This macrame chandelier is hand-woven in Indonesia using locally produced cotton rope. The photo shows a natural-toned, fringed construction with braided hanging supports and a tiered circular body. As with hand-woven textile work, small variations in the fall of the fibres are part of its character.

Fitting it safely

The light fitting is not included, so it should be paired with a suitable ceiling light fixture. Use only LED, low-energy or energy-efficient bulbs that stay cool, and keep the cotton away from direct heat.

Before hanging, check that your ceiling fitting and fixing point are suitable for the weight of the piece. If you are unsure, ask a qualified installer.

Where to place it

It works beautifully over a dining table, in a bedroom, above a reading chair or in an entrance where the hanging fringe can be seen from below. Give the tiers enough open space around them so the shape can breathe.

Macrame in context

In contemporary interiors, a piece like this brings a softer setting: less polished fixture, more tactile presence. It is lighting as texture, with cotton rope doing the visual work that metal or glass would usually do.

Size and details

Approximate size: 80 cm high and 50 cm wide. Weight: 2150 g. Made from cotton rope in a natural colour. Light fitting is not included.

A thoughtful home gift

Choose it for someone setting up a new home, refreshing a bedroom, or leaning into a slower, more textural interior. It feels especially right for people who love natural materials.

Common questions

Does it come with the electrical fitting?
No. The chandelier is the macrame shade only, so it needs to be used with a suitable separate light fitting.

What type of bulb should I use?
Use an LED, low-energy or energy-efficient bulb that stays cool. Avoid bulbs that become hot near the cotton rope.

Will every piece look exactly the same?
No. Because it is hand-woven, the fringe and knots may vary slightly from piece to piece.
