Wicker Pendant Light Styled Bamboo Shade

Nope! It's common to confuse the two, but bamboo and wicker are not the same. Easy mistake to make, since both are used in furniture and home decoration goodies, but in technical terms, they're actually quite different. Bonus points to you if you already knew!

Wicker: Wicker is actually more of a weaving technique (and/or a catch-all term for a bunch of materials), rather than a name for any material in particular. When materials like rattan, water hyacinth, or bamboo get all twisted and shaped into patterns, that's 'wicker'. It's the technique, basically, not the material.

Bamboo: Bamboo is not a technique, of course, but a material (and popular panda bear cuisine). It is often used in wicker furniture, as flooring, and even comes in handy during construction; it's not uncommon to see scaffolding made from bamboo in some Asian countries. Pretty wild stuff (excuse the pun!). So, while used in wicker products, bamboo is distinct from the broader category of wicker.

Wicker pendant lights create a uniquely beautiful vibe, cozy, homely, and wrapped in organic elegance. The open-weave design of our bamboo wicker pendants allows light to gently diffuse, peeking out from between the strands, like the sun rising behind a bamboo forest. Beautifully subtle textures and neutral tones play with the light, producing soft shadows amongst a warm glow. Bamboo wicker lighting creates a truly relaxed ambiance, whether placed above a farmhouse dining table, in the living room, or as a focal point in bedrooms, delicately balancing functionality with visual warmth.

Switching up the shape of your pendant shade is easy with our flexible design. You can compress and expand the basket shade with your hands, then once you've achieved your desired shape, secure it in place by utilizing the provided twine or a material of your preference (wire, string, etc.). Each light includes visual instructions on how to change the form too.
