Uniqka KONI Handmade leather pendant lamp

Koni Lamp is made of a single sheet of vegetable-tanned leather that is woven into a solid conical shape.‎ Traditionally, leather was woven for both decoration and reinforcement of the material.‎ A flexible and soft material is made firm enough after weaving to be employed for more constructive tasks like making baskets or sturdy seating and backrests for chairs.‎ As a designer, Romy Kühne is fascinated by inventive techniques that transform 2D materials into 3D forms.‎ She decided to use the traditional weaving technique both creatively and constructively to create a lampshade from a single sheet of vegetable-tanned leather and turned this soft material into a sturdy, durable lamp.‎ Koni was inspired by traditional weaving, and it features a circular leather design that is partially woven into a classic conical lampshade.‎ The shade's construction is clearly demonstrated by the obvious joinery with brass studs and partial weaving, which exhibits the passion for the crafting process.‎ Koni is offered in three color options and two sizes.‎ The lampshade is available in brown, black, and navy blue and the brass studs have three finishing alternatives: chrome, gold and black.‎ Having nine combinations to choose from, Koni is a minimalist, contemporary lampshade that can easily fit in different spaces.‎ Koni gives its surroundings a refined and cozy appearance with its weaving method and eminently appealing structure.‎ Further info from manufacturer on KONI Uniqka
