Banana fibre is a less common material in lighting, and it gives the Niva Pendant Natural 37x37x40cm a texture that's coarser and more visible than jute or cotton. Handwoven into a mid-size shade, the open weave lets light pass through the sides as well as below, filling a room with a relaxed glow rather than a concentrated beam. At 37cm across it works over a dining table, in a bedroom or in a living space without demanding a large ceiling area. Every shade is woven individually, so the pattern varies subtly between pieces. A larger, wider size is also available. It needs no assembly and takes one E27 globe.
