Handwoven Telephone Wire Accent, Bordeaux

About the Item

It is said that this stunning art form started with the African night shift security workers being bored on duty. They brought these weaving skills back to their villages and shared them with their wives, who have mastered them into today's sought-after pieces. The weavers behind these objects started by applying traditional skills in creating baskets for household usage. Time has passed, and remarkable innovative methods were applied, giving the lampshades a contemporary edge. Today, these beautiful telephone wire crafts have evolved into highly expressive contemporary art forms. The exceptional techniques of our handwoven lampshade accent, the modern design, and the elegant shapes make them the perfect symmetry for any interior design project. These pieces are individually woven by hand, so each piece is unique. Some pieces might be slightly different in size and finishes, which is a distinctive way to highlight their natural character and our commitment to upcycling and sustainability.
