PET Lamp Abyssinia

The Abyssinia collection aims to preserve and celebrate the stunning weaving techniques of traditional Ethiopian basket weaving. Local patterns, a mix of modern and ancient materials, bold colours, and smooth shapes make PET Lamp Abyssinia a reflection of African character.

For this collection the artisans use a traditional basketry technique that translates as “coiled”; weaving the palm leaves that form the structure with the translucent strands of the plastic PET bottle. This creates a wide, flat lampshade, whose robust form is decorated in incredible patterns, freely chosen by the artisan as a reflection of the cosmogony of their local culture.
