Plaited Doum Pendant Lamp Shade

This lamp shade would make for a really fun accent in any room. It is made of alfa straw, also called Doum, braided in Morocco. When new they are slightly green but they yellow over time.

It’s hand-plaited by local artisans in Morocco. They add a fun touch hanging but if you’d like to light them, the straw hanging below catches the light in such a brilliant way and illuminates it beautifully.

Dimensions: 18” across x 12” high and the fringe hangs down about 4” to 6” more.

A few tips:
* If you would like to accelerate the yellowing of the fiber, leave it suspended in the sun for a few days.
* The fiber of alfa, the Mediterranean grass used to make these light shades, is malleable. If you would like to try to shape it, you can lightly spray it and use anything weighted or that will add tension to hold it in place until it dries.

Electric cable not included. Ikea lights fit well! To assemble the fixture, I usually tie a matching string from the ceiling to the handle of the shade. The length of the string depends on the distance you want your lamp to be off the ceiling.
