Pickup available at MARGATE
Usually ready in 24 hours
Bring warmth and natural texture into your home with AARVEN’s Ghanaian handwoven dome light shade, a sculptural piece of ethical, handmade lighting designed to create a soft, ambient glow.
Woven from sustainably sourced elephant grass, the curved dome silhouette diffuses light gently, casting subtle patterns and creating a calm, atmospheric feel. Its rounded form makes it particularly suited to lower ceilings, bedside lighting or clustered arrangements above dining tables and kitchen islands.
The ‘Coffee and Walnut’ colourway blends rich, earthy tones with natural fibres, offering a more grounded, tonal palette that works beautifully in both contemporary and relaxed interiors.
Each shade is handwoven in northern Ghana by skilled artisans, preserving traditional weaving techniques while creating modern, design-led lighting. Lightweight yet durable, it is designed to fit standard ceiling pendants and can be gently reshaped after transit if required.
A considered alternative to mass-produced lighting, this piece brings together material, craft and form — designed to be lived with and appreciated over time.
