Dragonfly Wall Lamp Sea Blue (206 w sb)
Reflecting the natural aquas and blues of the nearly translucent dragonfly, the artist uses a base of sea blue dyed abaca weave to embody the almost ephemeral structure. The wings feature a natural abaca rope mimicking the texture of a dragonfly’s organic wing structure. This piece adds fun on its own but can have even larger impact if placed in a group with a few friends! The dragonfly’s wings are comprised of natural abaca rope handwoven into a wrought iron frame. The head and body is made of abaca twine, stained, and then handwoven into the same wrought iron fame, emphasizing the contrast between the body and wings. Abaca is a fiber of a plant that is related to the banana plant. It bears no fruit, but it can continuously grow from the same roots similar to native grasses. The open weaving allows for ambient light to show through providing functional light. Also included is a plug with an inline switch for easy use.

An Eco-Friendly Frame of Mind
We are a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council; a coalition of manufacturers, retailers, and designers dedicated to raising awareness and expanding the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices across the home furnishings industry.
Our products are manufactured using materials that are sustainably harvested, non-toxic dyes, and water-based finishes.
The leaves used in our products are either collected after a tree naturally sheds them or are plucked from a living tree. In either case, the plant isn’t harmed. Additionally, the purchase of the leaves we use provides a secondary income to the framers who grow and care for plants.
What Fair-Trade Means to Us
We view ourselves as partners with our manufacturers and continuously exchange ideas on how to improve production, product quality, and the health and well-being of the artisans that work to create the products we sell. We visit our manufacturers on a regular basis to ensure that our core mission is being followed.
Our products are produced in the Philippines, a country that is fast growing, and progressive on ensuring workers’ rights. It is also a country where many companies are run by women and their entrepreneurial efforts are encouraged.
The artisans who make our pieces are paid a living wage, provided quality housing, have access to continuing education, and work under dignified and safe conditions.
We Are Handmade
The lamp frames are constructed from wrought iron that is hand-manipulated and welded into the artisanal shapes. It is then sanded and finished with a powder coat.
Each leaf is placed by hand on a standard UL lamp backing. The backing adds durability and protects the shade from damage.
