Ghanaian Handwoven Cone Light Shade – Tropical

Bring warmth, colour and texture into your home with AARVEN’s Ghanaian handwoven cone light shade, a sculptural piece of ethical, handmade lighting designed to create atmosphere and visual impact.

Woven from sustainably sourced elephant grass, this cone-shaped pendant shade softens light to create a warm, ambient glow while adding depth and structure to your space. Its clean, architectural silhouette works beautifully above dining tables, kitchen islands or in living spaces, either as a statement on its own or styled in multiples.

The ‘Tropical’ colourway introduces a vibrant, playful palette inspired by natural landscapes, bringing a sense of energy and individuality to contemporary interiors.

Each shade is handwoven in northern Ghana by skilled artisans, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Lightweight yet durable, it is designed to fit standard UK and EU ceiling pendants (ring reducer supplied) and can be gently reshaped after transit if needed. 

A considered alternative to mass-produced lighting, this piece celebrates craftsmanship, material and design — a timeless addition to modern homes.
