When the lamp lights up in the evening, the warm glow that filters through the shell surface turns the room in a moment — a seaside mood in the living room, a quiet boho atmosphere in the bedroom. This 30 cm round shell lamp has a hand-assembled shade made of mixed shells: each piece is unique, because nature does not make two shells alike. The work of Indonesian artisans, where hand-craft and the world of the sea meet.
Natural materials, living light
The shell shade is made of naturally collected pieces sorted by size and tone. The light bulb inside passes its warm light through the openings between the shells, producing a soft, varied pattern of brightness on the wall and ceiling. The result is more like candlelight than a uniform bulb — gentle, warm and easy on the eyes in the evening.
Where it belongs
The round shape and 30 cm size make this lamp work well as a bedside light, a corner lamp in the living room, a soft mood-light in a meditation or yoga room, or an accent in a bathroom with proper damp-clear placement. It pairs naturally with rattan, linen, dried botanicals and other organic materials.
The work of Indonesian artisans
Indonesia has a long tradition of working with shells: the islands' coastal communities have shaped them into lamps, baskets and decorative pieces for generations. Each lamp is assembled by hand, so small variations in shell arrangement are part of the character.
Care
Wipe the shells gently with a soft, dry cloth from time to time. Keep the lamp away from direct splashes of water. Use a low-wattage warm bulb so the heat stays comfortable inside the shade.
