Moonlight Table Lamp

Moonlight Table Lamp

A round table lamp like a small moon: a hand-coiled disc of papyrus and star grass rests on a wooden base, with the light glowing softly from behind it. It is made by women artisans in rural Tanzania and was designed with the French designer Emmanuel Babled.

The grass is coiled by hand, a slow technique that gives each lamp its own spiral pattern. Tilt the front to change the light: indirect for a warm atmosphere, more direct for reading.

On a bedside table, a sideboard or a shelf, the Moonlight brings natural character and soft light to the room.

Material: papyrus, star grass, recycled thread, wood

Dimensions: 28 cm high × 25 cm wide × 12 cm deep

Colours: Olive green, Tangerine, Natural Gold, Yellow chevron

Who made it?

The artisans behind your product

Our partner

Founded in 2007, this social enterprise operates from Tanzania in the tri-border region with Rwanda and Burundi, working with artisans in this remote area and with refugees. Creating safe environments, personal growth and income opportunities is the purpose of this impressive woman-led initiative.

Coiling Stargrass

Working with the locally available fibers, stargrass or the bark of banana trees, these 100% natural and sustainable products were made with the time-intensive technique of coiling, which can be seen on this image.

Design as a force for good

Co-created with the French designer Emmanuel Babled, the lamps are part of a collection that he designed for East African lodges so that these would provide an income for the local artisans. This colourful collection lives up to the safari vibe combining refinement and nature.

Empowering women

When you empower a woman, the impact on the family is huge. Children will be able to go to school, or to attend school for more years, also the girls. Many studies have been made on the huge role of women in driving change. We love to support these initiatives and know that our customers contribute to the artisans' empowerment!
