About
There is something quietly transformative about the right light. Whether it is the warm amber glow of a Himalayan salt lamp beside your reading chair, the soft shimmer of fairy lights strung above a headboard, or a hand-woven rattan shade casting patterned shadows across a ceiling — lighting shapes the atmosphere of a room as much as any piece of furniture. This collection brings together lamps and lighting for slow living spaces: natural materials, considered design, and the kind of glow that invites you to stay a while. What is inside the collection The range spans several lighting families. Himalayan salt lamps are the heart of the collection — rough-hewn chunks of pink salt mounted on wooden bases, in shapes from classic fire bowls and braziers to heart and football forms, and in sizes from around 8–10 kg down to smaller decorative pieces. Fairy lights include USB-powered flame effect lamps and gemstone string lights such as those threaded with citrine, ideal for adding a gentle twinkle without a mains socket nearby. Pendant lamp shades are woven from natural fibres: braided doum palm in black and teal, and banana leaf raffia in natural tones. A selection of rattan lamps and the practical cables and adaptors to keep everything running complete the offering. Choosing your lamp For Himalayan salt lamps, size matters most. A larger lamp — say 8–10 kg — will fill a bigger room with depth and warmth, while a smaller decorative piece works well on a bedside table or windowsill. Colour varies naturally between pieces: lighter salt tends to glow more brightly, darker tones produce a richer, deeper amber. Because each lamp is hand-carved from natural crystal, exact shade cannot be predicted — that variation is part of the appeal. For pendant shades, consider the height of your ceiling and the size of the fitting; the doum and raffia shades in the collection are designed for standard lamp holders and work beautifully above dining tables, in hallways or as a focal point in
