Bolgatanga Lamp

The Bolgatanga PET Lamp features a sculptural, woven shade that casts a warm, patterned glow when lit. Its layered texture and earthy tones soften light naturally, creating an inviting ambiance suited for living spaces, bedrooms, or reading corners. Even when unlit, the lamp functions as a striking design object with strong visual presence.

This lamp is produced in the Bolgatanga region of northern Ghana, where basket-weaving skills are widely practiced and adapted for contemporary home use. The design reflects a modern application of traditional weaving techniques, transforming a functional craft into a lighting form without altering its core method. The result is practical, restrained, and culturally grounded.

Handwoven using recycled PET strips combined with traditional weaving techniques, the lamp balances durability with flexibility. The PET material provides structure and longevity while allowing for intricate patterns and controlled light diffusion. Minor variations in weave pattern, tone, and shape are inherent to the handmade process and should be expected.

Designed for ambient lighting and compatible with low-heat bulbs only. Suitable for indoor use; keep dry and clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. As a handcrafted item made in small batches, each lamp is unique and availability may vary.
