Rattan Table Lamp Black UK Plug

• The open lattice lets light pass in broken lines, casting a shadow pattern around the lamp rather than a flat glow.
• The black finish gives the natural weave a more graphic, grounded look.
• Its rounded body and narrow neck feel sculptural even when the lamp is switched off.
• Small raised feet lift the woven form lightly from the surface beneath it.
• Use it as a rattan bedside lamp, a hallway accent light or a softer layer beside stronger room lighting.

Rattan is a climbing palm widely used in Southeast Asian furniture and lighting, valued for its strength, flexibility and organic texture. Here, the wide open braid creates the lamp’s character, with small natural differences in the pattern from piece to piece.

The shape sits somewhere between a lantern and a woven vessel, with a fuller base tapering into a narrower top. The visible criss-cross structure keeps it airy, so it adds presence without feeling heavy on a table.

Place it where you want atmosphere rather than focused task light. A console table, bedroom corner or low shelf will make the most of the shadow play.

Keep rattan away from damp areas and wipe the weave gently with a dry, soft cloth. Let the lamp cool before cleaning or moving it after use.

Rattan lighting has moved in and out of favour for decades, from relaxed 1970s homes to today’s slower, more textural interiors. Its appeal is simple: woven natural fibre changes the way a room feels. Instead of hiding the shade, the weave becomes part of the light itself, making pattern, shadow and material visible. In Indonesian craft traditions, woven objects are everyday and functional, but they also carry a sense of patience and repetition that suits a quieter home.
