Description
The Fortune lamp gets its name because of the sturdy bamboo legs as bamboo is a sign of good luck in many Asian cultures. Featuring real cocoa leaves and a simple square design, this lamp is a true show piece and conversation starter. Features fossilized cocoa leaves that are hand-placed on a standard UL lamp backing and then laminated using a non-toxic adhesive, creating each of the four sides of the lamp. The panels are handstitched using renewable abaca rope, onto a powder coated, wrought iron frame to form a square design. The body of the lamp is fastened to and supported by four bamboo poles. Features: Setting: Indoor Fixture finish: Wrought iron and bamboo Shades: Real cocoa leaves dyed with natural colorants On/off foot switch Number of lights: Two (2) LED, not included Dimensions: 48 inches high x 11 inches wide x 11 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.
