Eangee Home Design Handmade Banana Bowl Sconce
Description
The Banana Bowl Sconce is inspired by the functional art of the banana leaf bowl; a long-used tool created by pinning the leaf of a banana plant into a bowl shape. The pinned leaf design of the sconce is open at the top and bottom creating directed light while ambient lighting diffuses through the shade. Features fossilized cocoa leaves that are hand placed on a standard UL lamp backing and then laminated using a non-toxic adhesive. The panel is handstitched onto a powder coated, wrought iron frame to form an arched bowl shape. The lamp is accented with a single, abaca-wrapped metal stem in the center and a bamboo rod through the top and bottom. Each sconce includes approximately five feet of cord with plug and the hardware needed to hardwire if desired. Features: Setting: Indoor Fixture finish: Wrought iron, abaca rope, and bamboo Shades: Real cocoa leaves dyed with natural colorants On/off cord switch and hardwire kit Number of lights: Two (2) LED, not included Dimensions: 22 inches high x 7 inches wide x 9 inches long Bulb Recommendations: We highly recommend using LED bulbs with this lamp. 400 to 800 lumens per bulb in soft white light is suggested. A19 Medium Base Max 13-Watt Type SBCFL or LED We do not recommend incandescent bulbs because the heat from the bulb can discolor the shade over time. Story Behind the Art: A gecko lamp started it all. While vacationing in the Philippines in 2003, the founder of Eangee Home spotted the charming piece. A talk with the creator sparked an idea, and upon returning home he and his partners opened a small retail store to sell the lamp and similar items. A few years later they realized that if they shifted their focus to becoming a distributor they could bring a wider variety of unique, sustainably made products to the market. They decided to focus their partnerships with makers in the Philippines since the concept of creating by hand and being detail oriented is part of their cultural tradition. The unique designs they offer are a result of a collaboration of their experience from years in retail, and the creative minds of the artisans with whom they work. They are committed to ensuring that all of their products are eco-friendly and are made of renewable and/or recycled materials with food- based dyes and low-impact finishes.While the business has grown, they've stayed true to their core mission of filling people's homes with sustainable products while supporting the talented makers who create them. To help ensure this, all makers they partner with have access to clean, safe working spaces, living wages, healthcare, continuing education, and quality housing. Eangee Home is a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council; a coalition of manufacturers, retailers, and designers dedicated to raising awareness and expanding the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices across the home furnishings industry. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
