Details & Materials

Five genuine ostrich eggs crown this lamp, each drilled by hand with small holes that let the light escape in soft points across the room. Lit in the evening, the effect is warm, romantic, and unlike anything else in the house.

The metal base was hand made in South Africa in 1985, built with hand tools rather than machinery. The lamp takes a 25 watt transparent bulb.

"When I was first exposed to African art, I felt a deep connection to it. It is hard to explain. It resonates with me spiritually."
