Eangee Home Design 395-L-SB Fortune Large Floor Lamp in Sea Blue
The fortune lamp gets its name from its long sturdy bamboo legs. Bamboo is a sign of good luck in many Asian cultures. With a shade made of real fossilized cocoa leaves this lamp is a true show piece and conversation starter. The frame is constructed of wrought iron, making the lamp very strong and durable; it’s powder coated in order to ensure the longevity of its color. The legs are made of real bamboo, which have been hand stained to create contrast to the bold shade colors. The bamboo is bound and tied to the wrought iron frame. Fossilized cocoa leaf lampshade. Fossilization is the process of drying leaves over a three to four month period and then hand rubbing the chlorophyll of the leaf so only the leaf’s skeleton remains. Once the chlorophyll is removed, the leaf is stained in organic dyes. Since the leaves are natural, each one will absorb dye differently. The resulting effect is a lamp with different hues and shades (sometimes within the same leaf). Once the leaf is stained, it is adhered to a heat resistant backing. The artists cut each leaf to ensure that no leaf will overlap. Finally, we use a strong sealant to ensure the stability and integrity of the shade. Bulb(s) required 2, Bulb suggested compact fluorescent (CFL) (not included). UL approved.
