Lamp Shades Banana Leaf Raffia Set of 3

Natural plant fibre turns everyday lighting into something softer and more sculptural. This set of three banana leaf and raffia lamp shades brings woven texture, open patterning and a warm, earthy presence to a room, even before the light is switched on.

Woven banana leaf and raffia

Handmade in Indonesia, each shade is formed from banana leaf and raffia, with thick braided bands and looser open sections between them. The photo shows a natural tan fibre worked with darker raffia, giving the set a grounded, organic contrast.

Banana fibre has long been used for woven objects such as baskets, mats and shades. Here it feels tactile and substantial, with the small irregularities that come from natural materials rather than a perfectly uniform factory finish.

What you’ll notice in a room

• The three shades are graduated in size, so they can sit together as a layered cluster or be used separately across a scheme.
• The open weave lets light pass through in broken, textured lines rather than a flat glow.
• The braided fibre gives each shade a sculptural look when unlit, especially against simple walls or clean furniture.
• The natural and darker tones work well with wood, linen, stone, rattan and calm neutral interiors.
• Each piece will vary slightly in colour and finish, which is part of the character of banana leaf and raffia.

Light, shadow and placement

Use them where you want texture as much as illumination: over a dining table, in a relaxed living space, or in a quiet corner that needs a little warmth. The woven openings are part of the design, creating shadow and pattern around the shade when lit.

Because the fitting and bulb are not included, choose the electrical components separately to suit your lamp point and room. Natural fibre shades are best kept away from damp spaces and protected from prolonged moisture.

Care for natural fibre

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or a clean feather duster. Avoid soaking, spraying or using harsh cleaners, as banana leaf and raffia are natural fibres and can be marked by excess moisture.

From Indonesian plant fibre craft

In Indonesia, plant fibres are widely used in everyday woven goods, from practical baskets to decorative home pieces. Banana leaf fibre is valued because it can be shaped, rolled and woven into strong, textural forms. In these lamp shades, that practical craft becomes a calm design feature: simple materials, visible handwork, and a surface that changes with the light through the day.
