Boho Rattan Adjustable Wall Lamp

A handwoven rattan shade on an adjustable metal arm. The weave lets light through the gaps between the strands, so the wall around it fills with a fine pattern of shadow rather than a single flat pool.

The adjustable arm is what separates it from a fixed boho sconce. Swung out it becomes a reading light beside a bed; folded back it sits close to the wall and takes up almost no depth in a hallway. That flexibility matters in a narrow space. The arm also rotates slightly at the joint, so the light can be angled away from a sleeping partner without swinging the whole fitting out from the wall.

Each shade is woven by hand, so the tension and spacing differ between pieces and no two throw quite the same pattern. Natural fibre also warms the colour of the light on its way through. Keep it out of a bathroom or an unheated room, since rattan holds moisture. Installation should be carried out by a competent person, with the circuit isolated before work begins. Dust the weave gently with a soft brush now and then, since rattan traps dust in its grooves more readily than a smooth shade. A single fitting suits a narrow landing as easily as a bedside table.
