A larger-than-usual lotus-shaped mood light in natural, unpainted, with a gold rim. The bigger size gives a fuller, more striking glow. The unpainted capiz shows the shell's pearly, original beauty with a soft, neutral light.
About the lotus
The lotus is a symbol of the path from darkness into light; the flower that rises pure from the mud above the water. A lotus-shaped holder is thus a quiet sign of calm and renewal in the room.
Material and finish
Capiz is the translucent shell of the windowpane oyster (Placuna placenta), named after the town of Capiz on the Philippine island of Panay. Cleaned, it becomes translucent; painted, it plays gently with the light. A natural material, so small irregularities may appear – part of its handmade charm. Thanks to the larger, roughly 15×10.5 cm size, the light spreads more widely; the petals are held by a gold frame.
Light and mood
A tealight glows through the capiz petals, creating a warm shimmer. For safety, a LED tealight is recommended. It can be a lovely centrepiece for a meditation corner, a dining table or a living room.
Good to know
Capiz is a natural material, so each piece is unique and the shade and surface may vary slightly. Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
