    Story behind the art: Artisans Orlando Paez and Mari Del Pilar Martinez created these beautiful lamps out of Raquira, Colombia. They work with as many natural materials as possible. Guadua is a natural material from Quindio, that is very strong and resistant, bridges and houses are being constructed with Guadua. The Guadua is treated against insects and ticks, and has to be cut during the Waning moon. According to a native theory, when things are cut in this moon they grow back very strongly. 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 it's flexibility, durability, non-shrinkage and easiness to wash, as well as the pyramid shape being a symbol for universal energy. There is good ventilation between the fabric and the bulb, therefore the fabric will not get warm. With the purchase of this item you are helping create employment and make the workshops grow, also helping with the on-going project of paying for their children's education. There are 9 total artisans that help create these lamps.

    This is such a unique lamp, I just had to have it. I was a bit confused at first with the construction but after I figured it out, it was a snap. I too had a problem with one of the sockets. I had no problem with the first socket but it took thirty minutes just to get the bulb screwed into the second socket. Finally I got it in and it worked fine. I've had many compliments and I like it so well, I just ordered another.

    I love this lamp! ! The artisans found a very unique way to craft an item that is not only a conversation piece, but a nice piece of artwork as well.

    I love the look of this lamp! It is, however, definitely a two-person assembly job...at least for me. After struggling to get it together correctly, the lower light wouldn't work and I thought I would need to return it. I found out that it isn't a case of the sockets not working, but they don't work with every light bulb. Odd. Some bulbs work in them and some don't. And it wasn't a case of the bulbs being burned out or defective. Buyers might try different bulbs if they are having trouble with the lights. That worked for me and I didn't have to return the lamp. I am not recommending it only because of the socket situation.

    Looks great, doesn't work,  Nov 10, 2008

    I decided to take the chance of the lamp not working like several of the other reviews said. The lamp looks fantastic! There are a few spots on the white fabric but the look is so great that you don't notice it. The bottom fixture worked at first but then we put in another bulb so the top and bottom would match and neither work now. Hoping to just redo the wiring or adjust the fixture. The price is high for the electric part not working....but it does look amazing.
