    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.

    I loved the lamp when I first saw it on the website. I also read reviews about it being dirty, smelly, and hard to put together. I had none of these problems. It is beautiful and unique. It puts off just the right amount of light. Buy it-you will love it!!

    DELIVERY WAS PROMPT. I FOUND THE LAMP TO BE EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND FAIRLY WELL MADE. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE MANUFACTURER SKIMPED ON THE CERMAC FIXTURES FOR THE BULBS. THEY WILL BE REPLACED. I DON'T FEEL VEY SAFE HAVING THEM ON THE LAMPS

    not exactly what I expected,  Jul 16, 2008

    I thought these floor lamps looked modern and interesting in the picture but they are not what I expected. They have fabric that covers the lamp, not some sort of plastic laminate or glass which is what I thought. They look sort of like space ships- I'm not going to return but I wish I had gotten something more traditional.
