Fishcatcher Hanging Lamps
Taressa George
Growing in the tropics and sub-tropics, rattan, or cane as it is commonly known, is a ready source for artisans and is the most vital forest product after timber. Its social significance is no less. It provides sustainable income to some of the most disadvantaged segments of people living in and on the fringes of forests. Ecologically, rattan is very important. It grows in degraded forests, in marginal soil, and reproduces rapidly. It can also be introduced artificially in natural forests without disturbing the existing structure and balance.
A great catch -- together or separately. Created using the same knot techniques fishermen use for their nets, these dark brown raffia twin lamps come in two catchy sizes. Includes fifteen-foot cord set with standard plug end. UL listed components. 40 watt max. Large lamp is 12" in diameter and 49" high. Medium lamp is 9" in diameter and 31" high.
