Our attempt to reinterpret the traditional toy craft of Channapatna translates to these one-of-a-kind statement lighting pieces.
The STHAMB lamp bases are inspired from the lathe-turned Hoysala pillars of the Halebid/Belur temples of North Karnataka. They hence fit into any contemporary setting and make great bedside table lamps especially in pairs.
Our fittings are of export quality. The cylindrical shade is made of embroidered cotton fabric. The shade emits light beautifully through this unique fabric. The wooden base is made of Wrightia tinctoria, a medicinal plant and handturned in Channapatna, Karnataka. Our attempt to reinterpret the traditional toy craft of Channapatna translates to these one-of-a-kind statement lighting pieces.
