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 70cm dia / 4 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
