The primary purpose of this oyster to provide a source of food, however, the shell is a sustainable by-product that can be used for decoration. The capiz shell subtly replicates the reflective qualities of butterflies in nature. The entire piece is lightweight and has an eyelet in the back allowing it to be hung using a finishing nail, command strip, or a push pin. Due to it being a natural material, the organic colors of capiz come through as tans and browns underneath the paint. -
The simple and clean design of the Mini Paper Cylinder Table Lamps offer a traditional look with an eco-friendly twist. The nine-inch-tall cylinder shades are constructed from handmade, recycled paper created by a husband-and-wife team living on the outskirts of their small city in the Philippines. Layered papers combined with patterns or inlayed leaves add texture and style. The result is a natural lamp that exudes soft, warm light. Features handmade, recycled paper. The reclaimed paper is boiled and ground into a liquid pulp and then strained over a large, flat, screen where it begins to lay flat in sheet form. The sheets are squeezed under a large press to removed excess water and to bind the pulp fibers into a durable, cohesive sheet of handmade paper. From there, each handmade paper sheet is cut to proper size and hand placed onto a standard UL lampshade backing using a non-toxic adhesive. The shade is adhered to a solid mango base, sustainably sourced from mango farms. Bamboo, acacia, fern leaves are used in some designs to adorn the shade behind the handmade paper. -
