Elevate your living space with the Oka Curvy Pendant Lamp Shade, a stunning example of lightweight pendant lamp shade design combined with unique Bolga weaving craftsmanship. Handcrafted with care in Ghana, this pendant shade features a distinctive curvy shape and moderate size, making it an ideal accent to add subtle warmth and texture to any room.
Measuring 8 inches wide by 11 inches high, the lamp shade includes a convenient 1-inch opening for easy hanging. Crafted from natural, locally sourced elephant grass, this handcrafted pendant lamp shade not only showcases the beauty of traditional materials but also remains lightweight for versatile use. Please note that the cable and bulb are not included.
Behind the design lies a rich cultural heritage. The art of Bolga weaving originates from the Bolgatanga region of Northern Ghana and has been passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Each piece takes anywhere from three to five days to complete, beginning with the labor-intensive preparation of 100% elephant grass—splitting, twisting, and softening the fibers by hand before weaving. This intricate process results in a durable, resilient lamp shade that brings authentic craftsmanship into your modern home.
Choosing this handcrafted pendant lamp shade supports a meaningful impact. The artisan sector is the second largest employer in the developing world, with many artisans being women who face limited access to global markets and business resources. By investing 100% of profits into education and entrepreneurship programs, this product empowers over 1,100 artisans and 250 youth in Ghana and Rwanda, providing sustainable employment and growth opportunities.
Care for your pendant lamp shade with ease to preserve its natural beauty:
- Made from resilient natural fibers designed to last
- If misshapen, dampen with cool water and gently reshape
- Allow to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading
- Spot clean only
Bring an elegant, handcrafted touch to your home with the Oka Curvy Pendant Lamp Shade, where lightweight pendant lamp shade artistry meets unique Bolga weaving tradition. This one-of-a-kind piece is perfect for anyone who values authentic design and socially responsible craftsmanship.
