Sylhet Handcrafted Bamboo Mesh Pendant Light

An open-weave pendant shade built from muli bamboo splints split by hand to under two millimetres, then woven over a former so the mesh holds its dome without an internal frame. The weave throws a patterned light across walls and ceiling. Fitted with a solid brass E27 lampholder; supplied without flex or bulb so buyers can specify to local wiring standards. Roughly six hours of work per shade.
