bamboo lamps
india

Following lamps were developed with indigenous tribes of Nagaland. The visual language and materials were locally inspired with improvisation being the key.

Rattan is the key material here. The structure uses an improvised local burning technique, which supports the cross weave.

A twin overlapping rattan weave wraps the rattan structure here. Ochre colour was developed using local herbs.

The use of locally available wild fern and kona grass gives this lamp strength, durability and a unique visual character.
