Here is recycling at its best: the local community collects glass bottles from surrounding lodges and villages for us, we then break the glass into pieces and tumble it in our homemade glass-tumbler. This newly smooth glass is further hand-wrapped in copper wire and attached to in-house welded frames, creating distinctive chandeliers, pendants, wall lights and lampshades.
Each tumbled glass product can be made with a combination of white, aqua, green and brown glass. As each light is a unique piece, please let us know color and size preference.
This chandelier measures 50cm dia / 5 Tiers / 50cm length.
Our lights are provided with chain and ceiling hook. Electrical are not incl.
For custom orders such as design or sizing requests, please get in touch directly on info@katundu.com
Part of our philosophy is to create high-end luxury
interior items. We have the privilege of working with artisans with
inimitable skills where each individual piece is crafted meticulously by
hand; a process of creation where beauty and soul are connected through
each piece.
Sustainable Materials
At Katundu we use as many local, natural and recycled material as possible. This includes baobab/ maize string, scrap metal, glass
bottles, grey seeds, clay mud beads, copper geezers, recycled
boat wood, and more.
Women Empowerment
When you invest in a women, they re-invest 90% back into their
families and communities. At Katundu we have incredible local
women rocking their roles as managers, carpenters, tailors,
designers, and as role-models for their friends, family, and local
community.
Ethical Employment
We believe that it is our responsibility to provide fair and empowering
employment. We pay fair wages, but we also relieve the pressure of
everyday life for our team by offering a loan scheme, medical support,
and education fees for staff children.
"We just love our beautiful glass chandelier and beaded cushions. The chandelier casts beautiful shadows on the ceiling and the cushions add that extra color to our living room. We'll always remember beautiful Likoma and the women of Katundu!"

"Katundu were amazing with communication and creativity on a large order for an interiors project in South Africa. We worked on design together, and when it came to shipping the items to South Africa, they arrived safely in super quick time. I would definitely recommend. Beautiful, sustainable interiors, great customer service and unique statement pieces."
Jessica Melville-Brown, United Kingdom
'I custom ordered 3 large cocoteeth chandeliers from Katundu. They are absolutely stunning and the center piece in my hall. They were great to deal with; efficient and quick to respond. I loved the photo's of the chandeliers being constructed in the Katundu workshop. I would definitely order from Katundu again as their products are totally unique and so beautiful.
