Lamp Shades Natural Banana Leaf Set of 3

• The banana leaf fibre has a thick, rope-like look, with a natural brown tone and visible twists through the weave.
• Open lattice bands let light slip through in broken lines, adding movement to nearby walls and surfaces.
• The hand-finished weave gives each shade its own small irregularities, which suit the relaxed nature of the material.
• The graduated shapes work beautifully as a cluster, or as separate shades to carry the same natural thread through a home.
• The textured surface sits well against limewash walls, linen, timber, stone, and simple painted interiors.

These shades are handmade in Indonesia from banana leaf, a plant fibre that can be extracted, rolled, shaped and woven. The finish is naturally varied, with tonal shifts and small differences in the weave rather than a perfectly uniform surface.

The bell-like forms narrow at the top and open towards the base, giving each shade a soft, organic outline. Use them over a dining table, in a hallway, beside a bed, or in a quiet corner where the woven texture can be seen as part of the room.

Keep the shades indoors and away from damp rooms. Dust gently with a dry cloth or soft brush, and avoid wet cleaning, as plant fibres can mark or lose their shape when exposed to moisture.

Banana plants are valued in many parts of Southeast Asia for more than their fruit. The stem contains strong fibre that can be worked into practical objects such as baskets, mats and woven home pieces. In lamp shades, that same fibre becomes both structure and decoration: sturdy enough to hold a sculptural form, yet open enough to let light pass through. The result feels simple, useful and closely connected to the material it comes from.
