    Story Behind the Art:

    Artisans Orlando Paez and Mari Del Pilar Martinez create these beautiful lamps out of Raquira, Colombia. Guadua is a strong and resistant natural material from Quindio. The Guadua must be cut once a month before five in the morning in the waning moon, because that's when the water inside goes to the bottom and it's at its driest point. The fabric has been chosen for its flexibility, durability, non-shrinkage and easiness to wash, as well as the pyramid shape being a symbol for universal energy. There are 30 total artisans that help create these lamps.

    With the money collected from the Worldstock orders Orlando has been able to send his daughter to school to continue her studies as well as English courses.

lamp

tfpup from Farmingdale, NJ, Nov 19, 2009

I look for unique lamps and this one tops them all. The lighting is just perfect to offset the room.I chuckled when I saw the rudimentary "how to" instructions, but once you read them, it was easy to put together. Though i was afraid at first to stretch the wood - I can see now how strong it really is.....still be gentle but don't be afraid to stretch it a bit. This lamp is absolutely a beautiful accessory.

hard to put together

paughe from Michigan, Nov 17, 2009

You definately need two people (and all four hands) to put this lamp together. It looks great and provides ample lighting. The craftmanship is good.

Such a Statement Piece

funshopper1 from Charlotte, NC, Nov 15, 2009

Bought this to put in our Great Room along a wall that I hung a BIG Wall Art piece on, that I also bought from Overstock. The Lamp looks fantastic! We have Med. Linen colored walls and Dark Brown Leather Sofas and it looks very awesome in the room. Gives off just the right amount of light we needed in the bigger room! Love Love Love it!
