Story
The wide shape
The Wide shade is 36 cm across and 18 cm high. Making it is a four-day process of hand-raising, welding, beating and skimming, and the hammer marks stay visible on the shade, so that each one is unique.
From the workshop
The lights are hand-spun, welded and hand-beaten by skilled artisans in Northern India, and the interior of the shade is hand-beaten brass.
