The simple and clean design of the Paper Cylinder Table Lamps offers a traditional look with an eco-friendly twist. The thirteen-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 inlaid 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 remove 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 the proper size and hand placed onto a standard UL lampshade backing using a non-toxic adhesive. The shade adheres to a solid mango base, sustainably sourced from mango farms. Bamboo, acacia, and fern leaves are used in some designs to adorn the shade behind the handmade paper.
I was looking for a different kind of lamp for an entry table, one that wasn’t too tall (to avoid blocking the prints on the wall) and one with character. This lamp was a perfect fit. It puts out a lot of light and makes the entryway cozy and inviting in the evening. It’s prettiest when it’s lit although is interesting to look at even when it’s not. Highly recommend!. Anonymous.
