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. -

Case of 4 The name 'flamingo' comes from the Portuguese or Spanish 'flamengo,' which means 'flame-colored.' Born gray in hues, flamingos get their flamboyant color from brine shrimp that make up most of their diet. Flamingos are very social animals and the artist depicts this by creating a group of five birds wading through the calm water enjoying a warm day. The artist takes time in pressing the metal creating texture in the wings and body, and also uses metallic paints to highlight the famous colors of one of the most recognizable birds on the planet. The basic frame of this piece is created using tin, which is powder coated with a black finish. The frame is reinforced using tin wire along the inner edge. The front of the body is adorned with capiz. Capiz is an oyster shell and the primary purpose of the oyster is as a source of food. However, the by-product, the shell, can be used for decoration. Due to it being a natural material, the natural colors of the capiz may come through as tans and browns underneath the hand-painted surface. -

The Nito Series is all about neutral tones, heavy texture, and sustainability. The real, nito vine is collected and cleaned before being handwoven into a metal mesh to recreate the natural, sporadic pattern of the vine as it grows around tree trunks. This outer diffuser is not only an attractive feature, but strong enough to serve as a protective barrier for the banana paper, inner diffuser. Banana fiber paper is created from banana trees that are cut down and would otherwise become waste. In addition to the environmental impact, recycling this natural by-product provides extra income to the local, Filipino farmers. The inner diffuser features banana fiber paper which is adhered using a non-toxic adhesive to a standard UL lamp backing. This mesh is attached to a heavy duty wrought iron frame, powder coated, to ensure the lamps longevity. The lamp sets on four wooden finials as feet. This lamp is controlled with an inline rocker on/off switch. -
