Handmade Cross Woven Bamboo Lamp

Does this style of woven lamp block the bulb’s color temperature?

The natural bamboo material may slightly warm the tone of cooler bulbs, giving off a softer, golden hue even with daylight-colored lighting.

Will this lamp make the room look too rustic or beachy?

Not necessarily. It depends on the context — when styled with clean lines or neutral palettes, it leans minimal and organic rather than themed.

How do I check if the shade is handwoven or machine-made?

Look for slight imperfections or variations in the weave — that’s usually a sign of genuine handmade craftsmanship.

Does the lamp come fully assembled or do I need to shape it?

Many handwoven shades come pre-shaped, but some may be compressed for shipping and require light reshaping after unboxing.

Will insects or bugs get attracted to the light through the weave?

Because the weave is open, it may allow insects in, especially if placed near windows at night. A lower-wattage bulb can help reduce attraction.

How do I avoid the bamboo drying out or cracking?

Keep the lamp out of direct sunlight or overly dry indoor climates. You can also occasionally apply a light natural oil to preserve flexibility.

Does this pendant work well above a workspace or desk?

It can, though the soft diffusion is better for casual use. For focused tasks, pair it with directional lighting or a brighter bulb.
