Natural plant fibre gives this medium pendant lampshade a quietly sculptural presence: chunky rope-like bands, open black lattice, and a tapered bell shape that feels earthy rather than polished. Made from banana leaf and raffia, it brings woven texture into view with a strong contrast of straw-toned fibre and deep black detail.
What the woven surface brings
Broad plaited bands wrap the top, middle and lower edge, giving the shade a grounded, tactile rhythm.
The black openwork between the bands creates a loose lattice, with small irregular gaps that keep the form airy.
Its silhouette narrows towards the top and widens at the base, softened by the rounded braided rim.
The natural fibre tones shift from pale beige to warmer olive-brown, with darker strands worked through the weave.
The finish is textured and organic, suited to rooms where hard surfaces need something softer and more human.
Banana leaf, raffia and contrast
The character comes from the meeting of two plant fibres: banana leaf and raffia. The banana leaf gives the shade its chunky, straw-like body, while the black raffia adds depth and graphic detail through the open sections.
Look closely and the surface is not perfectly uniform. That slight unevenness is part of its natural appeal, making the piece feel warm, tactile and quietly individual.
Form and proportion
The shape is compact at the crown and fuller at the lower edge, creating a soft bell-like profile. The layered bands make it feel substantial, while the open lattice stops it from looking heavy.
Placement and care
Let the woven texture sit where it can be seen from more than one angle, especially against plain walls, plaster, wood or stone. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and keep natural fibres away from prolonged damp.
