Description
Our PET Lamp Eperara Siapidara are woven from the stripped down leaves of the Paja Tetara palm tree; an abundant fixture of the Cauca region where our Eperara-Siapidara artisans originate from in the West of Colombia.
The artisans dye the palm strips with vibrant, natural pigments that accentuate the traditional motifs they delicately weave into the surface of the shades. They have complete freedom to apply these motifs and colours as they choose, so each PET Lamp Eperara becomes a unique expression of its creator’s whims in the moment it was woven.
A collaboration between Madrid-based designer Álvaro Catalán de Ocón and a group of artisans in the Colombian Amazon and beyond, the PET Lamp collection is a vibrant, soulful project that transforms trash into treasure. Each PET Lamp is one of a kind. The shades are created by hand from discarded plastic bottles that are cut into strips and interwoven with dyed and undyed palm tree fibers by artisans in South America.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican “Toba volcánica” stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement.
The contrast between porous textures and smooth dark red underlines the studios contemporary approach on traditional materials and craft. The connecting components between the sculptural stone elements and the aluminium parts originate from an intensive research of linking unique handmade shapes with industrial parts.
