Tall, narrow pendant lamp handwoven from Water Hyacinth and Banana Tree Bark — built for bedside tables, hallways, and spaces where a wide shade won’t fit.
Water Hyacinth & Banana Bark Pendant Lamp Shade (Tall) is a vase-shaped pendant shade handwoven in two fibers rather than one — Water Hyacinth forms the lower body, Banana Tree Bark the upper coil — so the color shifts from pale straw to deep caramel as your eye travels up the shade.
Both materials start as a problem before they become a product. Water hyacinth gets pulled out of rivers and lakes around Klaten and Yogyakarta in Central Java, where it grows fast enough to choke boat traffic and starve waterways of oxygen if nobody harvests it. Banana tree bark comes from stems that have already given their fruit — normally burned or left to rot in the field. Weaving the two together into a lamp shade is a small, practical way of turning two waste streams into something worth putting on a container ship.
The narrow 20 cm belly is the point. It keeps the shade close to the fixture instead of ballooning outward, which is why it earns its place over a bedside table or in a hallway where a wide pendant would just get in the way. At 47 cm tall it reads as one vertical accent, not a centerpiece — three of these hung at slightly staggered drop heights over a console table does more for a room than one oversized shade ever will.
Specifications
Who it’s for
Good fit for boutique hotel rooms, villa bedrooms, and retail displays that want visible handwoven texture without a bulky footprint. It’s also one of the easier pieces in the catalog to buy in multiples — the narrow shape stacks visually without competing for space.
Skip it if you’re lighting a dining table or kitchen island. The narrow belly throws light down in a tight column rather than spreading it wide, so a shorter, wider shade like our Water Hyacinth Lattice Pendant Lamp Shade (Wide) will do that job better.
Care
A dry or barely damp cloth handles most dust. Both fibers lose strength if they stay wet for long, so skip soap and standing water — a soft-bristle brush gets into the weave gaps better than a cloth does anyway. Keep it out of direct rain if it’s going somewhere semi-outdoor like a covered veranda.
Ordering as a wholesale buyer
MOQ is flexible and scales with how much customization you want — a small trial order to check quality before committing to a full container is a normal way to start with us. Lead time depends on order size and what the workshop already has in progress, so we’ll give you a real date once we know your quantity rather than a generic range that doesn’t mean much. Tell us your target unit count and timeline on WhatsApp and we’ll come back with numbers, not a form letter.
Common questions
Is this a complete lamp, or just the shade? Just the shade. It ships as the woven fixture only — no cord, socket, or bulb included.
Can the size or color be customized? Yes. Belly diameter, height, and the ratio of water hyacinth to banana bark can all shift for larger orders. Custom dye is possible too, but it adds to lead time — flag it early if color matters for your project.
What’s the minimum order for a first-time buyer? There’s no number carved in stone. Tell us what you’re testing the market with and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s workable — we’d rather start a real relationship than lose you to a rigid MOQ.
