Artisanal Woven Raffia Meets Timeless Design 🌾
The Mirella Pendant Light captures the essence of coastal and bohemian aesthetics through its distinctive two-tier woven raffia drum shade. This hand-crafted pendant brings warmth and texture to any room, combining natural materials with thoughtful design to create a focal point that celebrates the beauty of artisanal craftsmanship.
Design Philosophy & Inspiration
Raffia—a natural fiber harvested from palm leaves—has been woven by hand for centuries across African and Mediterranean cultures. The Mirella draws inspiration from this rich heritage, translating traditional weaving techniques into a contemporary pendant that honors slow, sustainable design. The two-tier drum construction creates visual depth, while the open base allows light to cascade downward, adding dimension to your space.
Each piece is genuinely unique. The hand-woven nature of raffia means subtle variations in weave pattern and tone are not defects but signatures of authenticity. Your Mirella will never look exactly like the product photo—it will be distinctly yours.
Key Features & Materials ✨
- Two-Tier Woven Raffia Drum Shade: Hand-woven natural grass creates a textured, glowing surface that diffuses light beautifully. The dual-drum silhouette adds visual interest and warmth to dining areas, bedrooms, and entryways.
- Solid-Wood Ceiling Canopy (Ø4.7″ / 12 cm): A natural wood canopy anchors the fixture with understated elegance. Wood grain varies per piece, adding organic character.
- Adjustable Cord (up to 59″ / 150 cm): Customize hang height to fit your space perfectly, whether suspended over a dining table or in a compact bedroom nook.
- E27 9W LED Bulb Included (3000K): Warm white light (3000K) flows through the raffia for soft, ambient illumination. The bulb is replaceable and accepts standard US E26 bulbs.
- Hardwired Installation: Professional hardwired mounting to standard ceiling junction boxes. Multi-region certification: North America, Australia, Europe & Middle East (110–240V).
Light Quality & Ambiance
This is ambient lighting, not task lighting. The single E27 9W bulb combined with the two-tier woven shade creates a soft, diffused glow with a gentle downward cast from the open base. It’s ideal for setting mood in dining areas, bedrooms, living rooms, and entryways. For spaces requiring bright, focused light—such as over a kitchen work surface—pair the Mirella with additional task lighting.
